Starting up in business is an exciting time. It’s also a time where you can suddenly feel very overwhelmed when you think of the numerous facets of running a business that you will have to fulfil in addition to carrying out your core business.

We work with start up businesses to help you get off the ground using your most precious resources, time and money as wisely as possible.

The start up businesses that we work with sometimes need a lot of help, but sometimes don’t. It’s up to you how much you need, we’ll be here to support you as much or as little as you like. Here are some examples of how we help start up businesses.

• Virtual Office. Great for those start up businesses who are employed as well as starting a business, who need to be open for business throughout the week even if they will only be able to work on their business out of office hours. Also great for anyone starting up working from home who needs to have a professional business address, and wants to make sure they don’t miss any business opportunities. We provide you with an office address to use with Companies House, to publish on your website and anywhere else you want to. We also answer calls on your behalf, either all of them, or just those you would miss anyway, to ensure you don’t miss any business opportunities, which are so important in the early days in particular. Straight away your business appears more established, giving you credibility from the outset.
• Web design  We set up an affordable, yet well designed website for you. Give your prospects and new customers somewhere to find out about your business online and create the right impression for your business.
• Accounting service  When start up a business you will be in charge of your business finances, for many people this is something they have never done before. Our accounting service will make sure you get off to the right start, from advising whether you would be best to operate as a sole trader, limited company or partnership, through to limited company formations if you need them, and then ensuring you meet your statutory obligations regarding tax and reporting, as well as everyday bookkeeping if you need it.
