Supporting you in making your business ideas a reality

Most people starting up in business do so because they have a good business proposition, and the enterprise and commitment to see it through. However, they may not be experts in the legal and financial aspects of running a business, and such matters often appear daunting. Fortunately you do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed in business, but you do need the support of a team of trained experts.

We will work with you to:

  • Determine the most suitable business structure – sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership or limited company
  • Prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets and trading forecasts (if required)
  • Assess your finance requirements, including advising on the best sources of finance and drawing up the necessary proposals
  • Establish a good working relationship with your bank
  • Complete any registration procedures with Companies House and HM Revenue and Customs
  • Advise you on Company Secretarial issues
Being a multiple business owner, it is imperative that I have accurate and timely financial information. Stafford Accountancy has not only guided me through the myriad of accounting systems, but tailored a system that was suitable for my business, allowing me to react quickly to situations that occur. It’s like having my own Finance Director to oversee every business decision!

Stafford Accountancy was recommended to us a few years ago by an existing client of theirs. Since then we have never looked back as they provide us with exactly the service we were looking for – they are very reliable and responsive to short notice requests, often going to great lengths to assist us when under pressure. We are delighted by the quality of service we continue to receive, and would not hesitate to recommend the team to any business
