Business Start-up Services, Northampton

Developing a business plan is a really important part of being a small business owner and is often the backbone of any loan or funding application. Even if you are not required to have a business plan by your lender or stakeholders it can be hugely valuable when it comes to creating the detail behind any good idea.

A good business plan will look at the various aspects of your business such as Finances, Marketing, Sales, Customer Service, Purchasing and Operations, it will also need to be updated on a regular basis as to reflect any changes in strategy. This will help you consider how all of these areas overlap and impact each other as well identify the weaknesses before they become an issue.

Northants Accounting have worked with our client base in and around Northampton to help them develop their own business plans using a thorough and systematic approach considering the various aspects of their businesses.

It’s a well-known fact that many businesses fail because owners have trouble linking their marketing and operational expectations to a financial impact, forecasting helps to identify the ideas that will generate a return and the ones that won’t as well as to improve cash flow timings which can lead to reduced bank charges, interest rates and better supplier relationships.

We help our clients in and around Northampton to create forecasting models that are tailored towards their businesses and goals and then help them utilise them to drive key actions and considerations that their business needs. Aside from the financial benefits this provides, they also experience significant motivational benefits as they feel that they have better control over their business and future.

Getting your business structure and tax year ends right can be incredibly important in the first year of trading when it comes to tax and managing your company’s credit rating.
