Having a solid business plan is imperative for any business. It should include long term and short-term goals, objectives, and strategies to achieve your goals. Our business planning service involves designing a comprehensive, measurable and achievable plan, suitable for both internal reasons and to satisfy the requirements of a financial institution. More Importantly, we’ll provide accountability to ensure you have the best chance of achieving your stated goals.

This involves designing budgets and cash flow forecasts to continuously measure the financial health of your business and operate solvent at all times. Cash flow management is a crucial tool for business owners; you must be able to plan and cover your debts such as wages, suppliers and other overheads, manage your future cash position and liquidity risk, plan for potential investments and ensure sustainable growth in the business.

Careful tax planning allows for smart, forward-thinking solutions to managing your tax.  We operate within the letter and spirit of the law to implement strategies to effectively minimise your taxes, and ensure you will be able to plan for your taxes well in advance, as well as save taxes.  

Financial reporting helps business owners understand their business performance and make informed decisions.  A whole set of financial reports would generally include profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and a directors report.

This involves identifying useful performance measures, both qualitative and quantitative, that provides management an accurate picture of how the business is performing operationally.  This is the foundation for monitoring performance, tracking against plans and making strategic business decisions.

This involves careful analysis of business performance including comparison of performance to internal targets and/or external industry or competitive benchmarks.  The objective is to identify what areas of the business are performing well and where the business is underperforming relative to the industry; areas of improvement for better performance will be highlighted.

This involves determining the true value of your business through a full diagnostic phase, which looks at business value gap and future value and profits required.  Armed with this information you can identify areas that will improve the value of your business.  Business valuations can have the following benefits: ensure sellers’ expectations are realistic, establish value and pricing mechanism for succession and estate planning, and assist owners in determining a price as a result of a partnership breakdown.

We offer a full end-to-end due diligence process for those wanting to purchase or sell a business, to ensure you are making the right decision with minimum risk and maximum value.  For example, we perform risk assessments, risk analysis, risk management, SWOT analysis, property plant and equipment valuations, and goodwill valuations, as well as provide assistance with the retainer process and advice on possible tax and Capital Gains Tax issues (if selling).
