Thinking of owning your own business?

We help you to…

• Prepare an initial business plan to clarify your marketing, management, and financial plans.
• Determine your start-up capital needs.
• Identify sources of start-up capital and backup sources if needed.
• Evaluate and quantify your borrowing power so you know how much money you can get your hands on if needed.
• Select a business structure that best fits your needs by evaluating tax advantages, legal exposure, ease of operation and portability should you need to relocate.
• Select the right accounting software by evaluating your budget, needs and hardware.
• Prepare a Cash Flow Budget so you know exactly how much money you need to keep the business alive each month for the first few years. Unplanned cash requirements are always emotionally painful.
