What stage is your business at?
A new business idea and an established company’s expansion call for different questions. Start with the stage you have reached and the decision you face. Stour Business Partners works with businesses from small startups to larger organisations.
Starting on a sound footing
Choosing a structure affects the records, responsibilities and tax work that follow. The startup pages separate the choice from the practical setup of a sole trader business or company, so you can move through the decisions in order.
starting a businessDecisions as the business develops
Growth, funding and exit plans should be grounded in the business figures. We can help with business plans, cash flow projections and analysis of existing operations. Our professional contacts may also be useful where finance or banking expertise is needed.
business decisionsTurning advice into ongoing records
Once a decision is made, the books need to reflect how the business now works. Bringing setup, advice and ongoing accounting together helps keep the plan connected to the figures you use every day.
business accountingYour questions, answered.
Can I discuss an idea before registering a business?
Yes. An early discussion can help identify the structure, recordkeeping and financial questions to consider.
Is growth advice the same as annual accounts?
No. Annual accounts describe a completed period; growth planning examines a proposed future change.
Can I ask about an exit before I have a buyer?
Yes. Early preparation can help identify the records and questions to address before a transaction is agreed.
