Most people start a business because they have a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through. They don’t do it because they are experts in the legal, financial, and fiscal aspects of running a business.
These matters can seem daunting, and even off-putting, to the budding entrepreneur. The good news is that you do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed in business. All you need is the support of a team of trained experts.
That’s where we fit in. Bring us your business ideas and we’ll help you to evaluate them in a constructive and realistic manner. We can also help you:
• Decide on the most suitable structure for your business – sole trader, partnership, or limited company
• Prepare a business plan, cash flow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts
• Assess your finance requirements, advise on the best sources of finance, and draw up the necessary proposals
• Establish a good working relationship with your bank
• Complete any registration procedures with Companies House, Inland Revenue, or Customs and Excise
• Deal with company secretarial issues
• Set up a recording system for your internal use which complies with statutory requirements
When starting out on a new enterprise you will have many questions and concerns.
We are here to help and guide you through the process.
We can assist and advise on a range of matters and issues such as:
- Where do you start?

A business generally needs some cash investment to start trading- you will often hear this called ‘working capital’.
Ideally, you should know how much cash your business is likely to need so that it is set up correctly and delivers the outcomes you seek.
You may be considering bank finance. At this stage, your chosen financier is likely to want to see your business plan and supporting forecast.

Many people do not realise when opening an account that the bank needs to know what trading style you intend to operate with.
If you intend to work through a limited company then the bank will need full details of the company that has been set up before they can commence the opening procedure.
It is always best to have a clear understanding of the best operating option before you seek to set up business-banking arrangements.
At Barrons, we have helped many clients to select their best options including finding the right bank for them.
