Start your new venture on a sure footing, with the support of a professional team who will work with you to help bring your ideas to reality.

You may have a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through, but the legal, financial, and fiscal aspects of running a business can often seem daunting, and even off-putting, to the budding entrepreneur. That is where we can help. Bring us your business ideas and we will help you to evaluate them in a constructive and realistic manner.

We believe in building strong relationships with our clients, and where this relationship is put in place at the start of your business, we can work together to ensure that you are working in the right direction straight away.

You will need to make a decision about the most suitable structure for your business - sole trader, partnership or limited company.  We can help you to focus on the relevant legal and financial factors and understand their implications for your business.

We can also help you to prepare a business plan, cash flow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts.

Finance considerations may also be uppermost in your mind at this point, we can help you to assess your finance requirements, advise on the best sources of finance, and draw up the necessary proposals.  We will assist you in establishing and maintaining a good working relationship with your bank going forward.

It is also important to ensure that your business is registered correctly with Companies House and HM Revenue & Customs, that any company secretarial issues are covered, and that you set up a suitable recording system for your internal use and for complying with statutory requirements.  With these basic considerations covered you will then be in an excellent position to move forward and achieve success in your new business venture.
