The above points are something a standard accountancy practice will offer but might not deliver, we guarantee a first class service covering every one of the above points in detail and of course dealing with other aspects as they arise.
We however don't stop there! We offer the complete service...
In the early part of a business it is important to concentrate on the vital elements of your business, for instance sales growth, networking to increase contacts, forming relationships with preferred suppliers etc. Most people who start a business have a very good business proposition, but possibly lack the expertise in other areas to make it the success it deserves. We can act as the middle man and help you complete the other areas, with minimum fuss and concern to you. They are often areas which can be important to the success of your business but are initially not completed through a lack of time and resources.
We will guide you through an extensive checklist, when signing up with the firm, but areas which are important are:
- Website design
- Stationery and printing
- Marketing and advertising
- Legal aspects (health and safety, employment law)
- Computer hardware and software (networking etc)
- Bankers (no/low initial charges - who are right for your business)
- Preferred general suppliers (recommended by our own existing clients!)
- Personal issues for consideration (Independent Financial Advisor etc.)
Where we can we also encourage our clients to deal which each other, generating more business and more sales revenue. We will always recommend the services of our clients, we want your business to grow.
Spurling Cannon is here to make this stressful initial period as smooth and as trouble free as possible. We can help give your business the kick start it deserves.
