Are you looking to secure a loan from a bank in order to start your business?

Or, are you an established business wanting capital in order to grow your business to the next level?

Most banks will require a business plan in order to consider lending you any money.

At HML Davies Limited, our team has had many years’ experience of helping businesses of all types and sizes to prepare a business plan.

In short, a business plan is a document that details what your business is about. It generally covers what you are hoping to achieve in your business, what strategies you are planning to use and what you are forecasting in terms of sales, marketing and finances over the next few years. You can also use a business plan to encourage customers, suppliers and even potential employees to deal with you.

A business plan can also help to clarify if, in fact, your business idea is likely to be successful.

With impartial advice and support from our team at HML Davies Limited, we will help to identify any potential issues or serious problems with your idea. In addition, we’ll help you to set realistic goals for the business and put indicators in place to measure your progress.

So, if you are just setting out in business or you are an established business and need an impartial, professional assessment of your business plan whether for a loan or for other reasons, call us on 01204 393 040.

Do you need to manage your accounts in a more efficient and effective way, but don’t know where to start?

Do you know how much your business turned over this month or this quarter and if you are making a profit?

Do you wish you could keep track of when you sent an invoice, when it’s overdue and when to chase for payment?

Do you wish you could run off professionally looking sales invoices or quotations and estimates for potential customers or clients?

Do you struggle to meet HMRC deadlines for VAT, corporation tax or personal tax and want to remove that worry once and for all?

Well, most accountancy software packages will allow you to do all of the above and much, much, more.

We can advise on the most appropriate accountancy software package for your business, install and set up the software and provide ongoing training to help you get the most out of that software.

Using accountancy software, can you help with some of the following activities:

• Issue customers with professional sales invoices
• Create and send quotations in minutes to potential customers
• Work out your VAT and submit this to HMRC
• Keep up-to-date with your accounts
• Run off a variety of reports to give you a more accurate picture of how your business is performing

Probably most importantly, using accountancy software will make you feel more in control and that your business is more organised and you can direct your energies to managing and building your business rather than worrying about meeting your legal and financial obligations to HMRC.

We are authorised resellers of Sage’s full suite of accountancy packages but we can also advised on other providers.
