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.

• Com­pa­ny for­ma­tions.
