Business Start Up

Starting a business should be a really exciting time – you have a good proposition, a good understanding of your market and you’re raring to go.

There are some important decisions you have to make when starting up a business that will have a major impact on its success, such as:-

• Do you need funding?
• If so, how much, when and for how long?
• Do you know where to get it and what it will cost you?
• Have you done a business plan with budgets, P & L and cash flow forecasts?
• Is it better to be a limited company, a partnership, LLP or sole trader?
• Do you need to be VAT-registered?
• Is it financially advantageous to be registered even if you don’t need to?
• Do you know how to form a company and what company names are available?
• If it is a limited company, do you need a shareholder agreement?
• Will you do your own accounts?
• What accounting software should you buy?
• What records are you required to keep?
• Will you do your own credit control?
• Have you chosen the best bank for your business?
