Financing Options for the Business
Raising money to start your business, or to fund investment and growth, can be difficult and daunting. Our expertise includes Investor schemes such as the SEIS and EIS (which are designed to help early-stage companies raise finance by offering a range of tax reliefs to individual investors), Government grant applications, debt finance, crowdfunding, angel investment, venture capital, peer-to-peer lending, invoice discounting and factoring. We also advise on boot-strapping and customer-funded models that limit the need for external finance.
We can help direct you to the most suitable type and sources of finance for your specific situation, and prepare any documentation required in the process. |
Book-keeping and AccountingKeeping good business records is not only a legal requirement; it ensures that you can manage your business effectively. We use Xero to make book-keeping as easy as possible, and to enable you to get real-time insight into your operations. With Xero you can see and manage all your bank balances, invoices, bills and expense claims at a glance and add new transactions with a click – from anywhere, anytime, securely.
We can pay for, set-up and manage your ledger in Xero. We can also use your records to produce Statutory Accounts and to complete all necessary Companies House requirements. |
