Accountants

69. Having the right financial advice is an asset businesses need to prosper. Having all the relevant information on which to base that decision makes good business decisions.

70. Having an accountant working with you sounds easy, however choosing the right one is important. It is very personal and therefore there must be a good level of trust, get on with each other and respect. After all you will probably tell your accountant more about your personal affairs than anyone else.

71.Using an accountant from one of the recognized professional bodies probably means he has experience of other start up situations, use that to your benefit.

72. The right accountant will be able to provide advise on business matters, taxation, VAT and assistance in dealing with the various authorities, e.g. VAT and Inland Revenue.

Solicitor

73. A solicitor can be helpful with key aspects when establishing a business. Such as terms of Trade, Partnership contracts, shareholders agreements are all necessary part in the early stages.

74. There will also be circumstances in your trading life when advice will be needed and having established a relationship with one who knows something about your business will be helpful.

75. Compliance issues and regulation are part of our everyday lives, unfortunately these keep changing and you need someone to advise you. A commercial solicitor is required, check their experience in that marketplace, if all they do is domestic then will they be up to date in what is required.
