Are you thinking of starting a business? Get proper advice at the outset and do not become one of those thousands of businesses that fail in the first few years.
We believe that if you are starting a business, you should seek the advice of an accountant with a proven track record in start-up situations. They can help you establish a realistic plan, steer you away from any potential pitfalls and ensure that everything is in order before the business starts to trade.
For a simple cash in, cash out business the financial plan can be really simple. However for a business that is going to need buy equipment, provides goods on credit terms or needs bank financing then a much more rigorous set of forecasts are going to be required.
The relationship between client and accountant should be that of a partnership working together for a common cause. We are a firm believer that the extra help and investment that we can give you at this stage will prove invaluable to your businesses long-term prospects. That is why you will be looked after by specialist start-up personnel within the firm and will be offered the first meeting free and without obligation.
Matters that you will be made aware of are:
- Business structure including company incorporation
- Business plans, forecasts and cashflow
- Funding requirements
- VAT registration – advisable or not?
- VAT schemes
- Direct taxation and how to minimise it
- What expenses can be claimed against tax
- Business or private vehicles
