Business Services

Start up
At the outset of any new business venture it is necessary to have a clear objective and a plan setting out how this is to be achieved. The assumptions in arriving at the strategy need to be expressed and tested within a financial model which has the necessary credibility to attract the required financial support and, in some cases, grant assistance. We have extensive experience in preparing business plans and presentations for bankers and for Government Agencies. In addition to getting finance arranged there is a myriad of registration notifications with the various Government Departments. Our office will guide you through the maze of red tape involved in a friendly and simple step by step approach.

Ongoing Support
We provide an ongoing contribution of support and advice to the management of the business as it develops and expands. This can involve assistance with the preparation of regular management accounts, forecasts and projections. Ownership and control of a business may change throughout its lifetime and we have the necessary experience to deal with the related issues of business acquisitions, business disposals, succession planning, management buyouts, staff recruitment and litigation support.
