As with personal taxation there are wide ranging reliefs available for the corporate sector. There are also significant penalties for tax avoidance and late payments of tax. Avoid these difficulties by ensuring your returns are dealt with by a professional.
Consultancy Services
We would normally recommend that small & medium sized businesses maintain a set of management accounts updated on a quarterly basis. This allows for a quarterly analysis & assessment of the performance of the business. By having a set of management accounts completed the business owner can verify that the business is moving in the right direction. If the management accounts reveal a deviation from the financial plan (budget), then action can be taken to address the issue.
Business plans will include a financial plan for the business for the first number of years of operation. Usually, there is heavy revision required for the financial plan after the first year of operation. In addition, each year should see the setting of business goals and objectives. These business objectives should be translated into a financial plan or budget. The budget is then used as a business measurement tool during the year.
Frequently, the most successful business are driven by innovative individuals whose primary background is non-financial. Their talents can be diverted from these areas through the complexities of maintaining the cashflow and administrative issues. Backup support can alleviate these worries and allow the business to develop and prosper.
Personal Financial Planning
As a business has developed the focus can often change for the owner to retirement/sucession issues, or how to liquidate cash from an asset rich business. This is an extremely important area for any individual or business and requires long-term planning for the best results.
