As a director before you start, we can advise you of your responsibilities and compliance requirements. We can do the following services for you :
Company formation

Business Plans
Statistics show that most businesses fail within 18 months of starting up. This is often because of poor planning and implementation of strategy.
We can help avoid some of those pitfalls by preparing your business plans for you.
A business plan is extremely important as it is a written description of your business’ future. A business plan helps turn your ideas into reality. It is well known that those who fail to plan, plan to fail which is why we advice our startups to get one done. It involves a brainstorming session with our experienced consultant from which a report will be produced with financial estimates for the future which could range from 3 to 5 years. Most banks will ask you for a business plan if you need to raise finance, so having one is quite important.
