Business start up

Starting up your own business is an exciting but worrying time.  There are many issues to think of; not just how to market and operate your business but also tax and administrative issues. 

Should you operate as a sole trader, form a partnership or incorporate a limited company?  There is a myriad of information on the internet but the decision as to which form your business should take is not easy to make. 

DG Accounting will listen to your plans and explain which of the various possibilities is most suitable in your situation.  Once the decision is taken we will be happy to assist you in setting up on a formal footing while you concentrate on your business.

Budgeting and cash flow

Budgeting and cash flow forecasts are very useful management tools for controlling your business but are often neglected.

Setting a realistic budget at the beginning of the year provides you with a benchmark against which you can measure your actual performance.  A regular review will highlight potential problems enabling you to take timely corrective action. 

A cash flow forecast, prepared from the budget, allows you to forecast any financing issues in advance and helps you addressing the problem in time to avoid unnecessary bank overdraft charges or embarrassing “the cheque is in the post” conversations.

DG Accounting can help you prepare a meaningful budget and cash flow forecast enabling you to keep your finger on the pulse.

Systems review

Our extensive work experience in small and medium companies means that DG Accounting is able to offer more than the standard accountancy and bookkeeping services.  We recognise that once a business gets off the ground there is often little time to sit back and analyse the efficiency of the operation.

Are you using the right tools to optimise your income?  Has expansion or changing technology rendered your systems outdated?  Are you ready for an influx of new orders or clients?  Do you need to see the big picture and start investing for the future? 

DG Accounting can help you analyse the current running of your organisation and make recommendations on how to streamline paper flow and administrative functions whilst retaining the vital controls needed to prevent or identify problems.
