All businesses need a plan. Whether you are just starting out or if you have been in business for a while, we can help scope out your business objectives and prepare a robust business plan to map out your future and ensure you are financially prepared for growth.
Our qualified chartered accountants specialise in meeting the needs of businesses and offer over 60 years’ combined experience supporting SMEs and helping business owners to make better informed business decisions with absolute confidence.
We know from experience that the first few years of any new business are often the most difficult and many businesses fail because they haven’t developed a robust business plan. Starting up and growing a business is fraught with challenges and we’ve helped many SMEs through a range of difficult growth phases.
Our business planning service for SMEs draws on vast experience across a wide range of business sectors, which enables us to provide important insight into your business and plan for a profitable future.
Start ups
Setting out with a business idea is an exciting time, but developing that concept into a viable business is also daunting and challenging. We can help with all of the business planning basics to help put your business on a steady and solid footing.
Most start-ups require funding. We can help you put together a credible and coherent business plan with the necessary financial and strategic information required for you to present to your bank or lender. This will give you a much greater chance of success when it comes to securing funding for your business.
Growing a business
Small businesses face significant challenges as they grow. Our extensive experience in helping SMEs across a wide range of sectors ensures we can offer insight into the common problems encountered by different types of organisation as they scale.
Interpreting financial information can be a particular struggle for SMEs, yet making sense of the figures is essential in order to mitigate risk and expand. We can help with organic growth, mergers, acquisitions and raising finance.
We will make sure nothing is overlooked and help you to optimise all of your financial resources. We’ll offer guidance to make sure you can see the bigger picture and help you to identify actionable strengths and weaknesses. We are experts in the business needs of SMEs.
Exiting or selling a business
It is prudent planning to have an exit strategy from the outset of starting up or buying into any business. This ensures you are protected and your business is safeguarded should you or a partner decide to leave or if you decide at any time in the future to sell.
We can help you with all of the necessary preparations to make exiting or the selling of your business go as smoothly as possible. This should be an integral part of your overall business plan.
