Research shows that businesses with a written business plan are far more likely to succeed. Business plans are also often required to support finance applications, particularly for bank lending.
Butterworths Accountants can help with every aspect of your business plan, including business strategy and goal setting, budgets, cash flow and profit forecasts, and all written elements such as business background, marketing plans, SWOT analysis, markets and competition. We present your plan in the most suitable way for lenders and investors.
Once your plan is complete, we can also help you monitor performance against it, so you stay on track and can make informed decisions as your business develops.
Business Valuations
Do you know what your business is worth? Business valuations are required for many reasons, including monitoring performance against goals, taxation matters, negotiating with HMRC, business sales and purchases, mergers, divorce proceedings, raising finance, shareholder disputes, pension and exit planning, and financial reporting requirements.
Butterworths Accountants provide business valuation services for unincorporated businesses and shares in unquoted UK companies. We also assist with dispute resolution and litigation where valuations are required.
