Building Your Business

Tax and financial planning
We, as a firm, fully encourage corporate businesses to undertake the following annual pre-year end financial review. This should ideally form part of managing a medium term business plan.

We have much relevant expertise in this area, and will happily undertake such an exercise with you.

• Profit extraction
• Accounting policies
• Interaction with associated businesses
• Consider changing the accounting year end
• Consider whether structure of business is still appropriate
• When to release information to Companies House
• Whether abbreviated accounts should be filed

Financing and Debt Collection
Maintaining a good cashflow and avoiding bad debt is a necessity for all businesses. We can assist you with advice on good credit control techniques and managing cash.

One of the major ways in which we can assist you is by preparing business plans and cash flow projections. The style and complexity of the forecast is determined by whether they have been prepared for the purposed of raising finance or for internal use. We have experience in ensuring that these documents are prepared accurately and realistically, improving on their usefulness as a business planning tool.

We will also liaise with finance providers on your behalf.

Acquisition and Growth
There are many ways for a business to expand; more customers, keen pricing policies and also the acquisition of competitors or firms with a synergy to your own.

We will ensure that the purchase is tax efficient or at least that you are aware of all of the tax implications. We can also assist in the purchase by preparing business plans and cash flow projections and will liaise with finance providers on your behalf.

Property
Whether you trade from your back bedroom or an office suite, every business needs premises.

Although the list is far from exhaustive you will need advice on the following issues:

• Buy or rent
• Serviced offices or lease
• Personal, corporate or pension fund purchase
• Appropriate finance

We will advise you fully of the tax implications of a property purchase: capital gains tax implications, inheritance tax implications and the income and corporation tax implications.
