Your first steps towards a successful business should be with Think Quality Finance. Our team of advisers will not only provide the advice, but crucially, also provide inexpensive business tools to enable you to be in control of your finances and more importantly repeat the exercise quickly and easily where necessarily – allowing you to concentrate on building your business.
Where to Start
When setting up a company, people often leave the financial details of the company until last as they either do not understand finance and don’t know where to start, or they have an idea of what needs to be done but because it is detailed and time consuming, they have not had the time to sit down and go through it.
Think Quality Finance not only help you through the set up by providing straightforward advice, but also offer a means to actually accomplish the tasks that are set out. This is unusual in business advice agencies, where you either get one or the other. A typical consultancy may give you incomplete advice telling you what to do but not showing you how to do it, or may give you lots of information on various buzz words that you may have heard e.g. profit and loss accounts, share holder agreements, articles of association, but no real understanding of how these fit together in
your business and which ones are applicable to you.
Think Quality Finance have used qualified accountants to group together the financial requirements that are necessary for each type of business at each stage of its development. If you are just starting out, complete start-up service is ideal to allow you to become fully operational in a relatively short space of time. You can tag on other modules as you need them. For instance monthly accounting and payroll. We have designed our offering around your needs which means you only use what you need and you only pay for what you use. On top of this, the tools we offer can be adapted by you to grow with your company – meaning they are fully flexible and can be easily integrated.
