Business Start-ups

We can help you start your business

If you are thinking of starting your own business, you should start by discussing your plans with an accountancy firm that can give you the help you need.

Viewing your accountant as a business adviser, not just as a professional trained in traditional accountancy and tax compliance services, will increase your chance of success and ultimately boost your profitability.

The more forethought you give to starting and running a business, the more likely you are to succeed. The vast majority of businesses that fail do so in the first twelve months.

It is vital to get good support and advice to avoid becoming a first year statistic.

Investigating the feasibility of your proposed development.
Preparing a business plan including profit projections, cash -flows and working capital requirements.
Advising on the proper structure for your business – limited company, sole trader or partnership.
