Start ups

Most people who start up in business do so because they have a good business proposition, not because they are experts in the financial aspects of running a business. These factors can often be quite daunting to the entrepreneur and this is where we can help by evaluating your ideas and helping you develop them into a feasible business.

We can also help you:

• Decide on the most suitable structure for your business (i.e. sole trader, partnership or limited company).
• Prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets and trading forecasts to prove the financial viability of your ideas and demonstrate this to the bank/potential investors.
• Assess your finance requirements and access the most appropriate source of finance.
• Establish relationships with banks, solicitors, etc via our well established network of contacts.
• Carry out registration procedures with Companies House and HM Revenue & Customs.
• Set up an internal accounting system which complies with statutory requirements.
