At the macro level, choosing the
right legal structure is one of the first steps in
business planning. We have helped create many businesses and
can advise on the right legal structure for you. In the same
way, we can help you to develop robust financial forecasts
to ensure that you have adequate financial resources to
develop in the way that you intend. In our experience, a
company is more likely to fail for lack of cash than for a
lack of profit. This is common (business) sense. We have
specialised software tools to create fully auditable business
forecasts to substantiate your request for bank and other
finance. Established businesses
should review their performance from time to time and question
the way they do things. We do this with our clients by drawing
on our wide knowledge of the business environment. Business
reviews regularly lead to new ways of defining,
targeting and getting results. Sometimes such reviews will
lead to a complete reappraisal of the business and its
prospects, and may identify a case for the sale or closure of
part or the whole.
And there comes a time when the
business is for sale in any case, perhaps on retirement. We
can help you prepare the business for sale with a view to
maximising the price and minimising the tax payable
on the sale.
At the micro level, we can help you
with advice on systems, pricing, and cost control. Usually
such roles are done in partnership with the company
management. Very often, the answer is within. Our role will be
to identify and nurture the resources that you already have. |
