Starting a new business is a massive undertaking for anyone. Did you know that for every new business that starts this year it is likely that only 43% will still be going in a year’s time and only 20% in 5 years time.
These are our core business start up services to ensure you are a success...
- Tax planning - we will advise you on the areas of tax planning we feel are likely to be of most importance to you from the start.
- Business structure – should you be a sole trader, partnership, Limited Company or even a Limited Liability Partnership? We will talk you through which is best for you.
- Raising finance and business plans - identifying the funding you need, the most suitable sources of finance, cashflow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts.
- Bookkeeping – we will show you how to keep your books, either manually or on a computer, whichever you prefer. We can advise and train you on suitable accounting software.
- Business planning - where we will look at your business, its potential, the main challenges you will face and outline a plan of action.
