36,000 British businesses went bust in 2009 - according to official figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS)

 

All of these businesses had an accountant and many other professionals looking after them.   This highlights the disparity between what these highly trained experts offer to do for businesses against what their clients need them to deliver in order to keep them from financial disaster.

 

Research has shown that these businesses struggled to survive due to just 5 key issues and these are always present.  One or more of these 5 issues are also very common to almost all small and medium sized businesses currently trading in the UK.

 

These issues can manifest themselves as a large ongoing problem that constantly drags the business down or sit unnoticed as ticking time-bombs waiting to come to critical mass and cause sudden, sometimes insurmountable shocks.

Think about the kinds of issues that have affected large companies like Woolworths, Game, Zavvi, Allied Carpets, Borders, Land of Leather, Blockbuster, Habitat, Oddbins, TJ Hughes and many, many others.  Their problems were widely reported and ultimately led them to disappear from our high streets.

 

Thousands of small businesses have gone bust for similar reasons.  It can happen to almost anyone when their business strategy and controls are not right. Ignoring issues and dangers have sunk many companies and put many people, business owners, employees and their families in serious financial trouble.

 

 

Not all services for business are the same.  Most focus on one discipline or a relatively narrow set of disciplines (accountancy, website optimisation, etc.) 

In order to help a whole business, we make use of knowledge and skills that are required in every area of a business in order to solve almost every kind of business problem and eliminate issues that hold a business back.

 

 

We work with many businesses to identify these issues before they become major problems. We are helping them to defuse the ticking time bombs in their organisations and to focus on growing a profitable and healthy business.

 

With our business health checks, we can help you to identify these 5 issues and help you to tackle them before they can cause irreparable damage to your livelihood.

We can also find any other lurking time-bombs and identify hidden opportunities to improve your source of income.

 

We will help you to cut costs, save tax and increase your business income.

 

The main difference is that we take our responsibilities to our clients very seriously and aim to help keep our customers in business for as long as they wish to be.
