Account Management

In the management of the business a key aspect is knowing how to manage and look after its customers. We can create the budgets and forecasting necessary for our clients to have control and planning over cash-flow. Successful cash-flow management is the key to a business to survive and thrive.

Business Planning

The starting point for any business plan is to establish its purpose, how it will develop and who its target audience is. It is not just a plan for obtaining finance, and can be used:

as a benchmark for the future;
as a tool to see how your business is managed;
to help focus on your business objectives;
to help secure finance;
to improve your business and help identify inefficiencies;
to provide details of your business objectives;
to test if your business or a new income stream is viable;
ultimately give your business the best possible chance to succeed.

A business plan is helpful to all types of business. The types of businesses that will benefit from having a current, up-to-date and relevant business plan in place include those which are:

applying for finance;
expanding their operations;
looking at specific projects;
preparing their business for sale;
seeking out opportunities or evaluating challenges;
simply reviewing their business;
starting up.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list and any combination can be the reason for producing a business plan or reviewing an existing plan.
