New Businesses
When you start a new business, we can help you with all those things which appear difficult but are really only down to experience. Things like funding, patents, obtaining premises and dealing with professional advisors are easy once you've done them a few times !
Finance & Accounts
This comes easy to some people and not to others. Writing business plans, understanding accounts and talking about money is something we are used to and doesn't scare us. Nor does the Bank Manager.
R & D and Manufacturing
This can seem to take for ever if you are not used to the process. Prototyping, independent testing, British and European Standards - and all this even before you've started to think about the tooling and how best to make the product.
Legal Matters
There are some very good solicitors in this country. It just seems sometimes that they are deliberately hiding from us ! With a lot of experience in this field, we believe we can spot the difference between good and bad and, more importantly, recognise when they are not needed at all.
Marketing & Sales
WE think it is a wonderful idea but how do we convince everyone else - particularly since we want them to pay us for it. In the new internet led world of the 21st century there are now some new exciting ways to reach your customers.
Government Red Tape
An area for our expert Associates. Sometimes it is really important to have an expert tell us how the rules are interpreted - whatever we think about them ourselves. If you want to change the rules, become a politician not a business owner. We can help you to keep on the right side of the law.
