Business start-up

Few people start in business as experts in the legal, financial, and fiscal aspects of running a business. Many potential entrepreneurs find these daunting and even off-putting. You do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed in business. All you need is the support of a team well practiced in these matters. We can help and guide you through the maze.

We can help you:

  • Evaluate your business ideas
  • Decide on the most suitable structure for your business - sole trader, partnership, or limited company
  • Prepare a business plan, cash flow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts
  • Assess your finance requirements, advise on the best sources of finance, and draw up the necessary proposals
  • Establish a good working relationship with your bank
  • Complete any registration procedures with Companies House, Inland Revenue, or Customs and Excise
  • Deal with company secretarial issues
  • Set up a recording systems for accounting and business management and for complying with statutory requirements
"If you are just starting in business, you need sound advice, freely available and easily accessible."
