Support Services

The combination of your business knowledge and our support services will help your business to grow and increase profitability.

Management information
Regular management information is vital to the continued success of any business. We work closely with you to get to know your business so we can make suggestions to help improve profits or to develop and grow your business. We can prepare your monthly or quarterly management accounts to ensure you always have reliable and accurate information on which to base your business decisions.

Payroll
Running a payroll can be time consuming and complicated and divert resources from the core activities of your business. Our payroll bureau provides a cost effective outsourcing solution, which helps relieve this pressure and ensures that your payroll is entirely compliant with payroll regulations.  We are able to provide the complete service, what ever the size or complexity of your business, or simply provide support when needed. We can also install payroll software and train your staff.

Bookkeeping
We can help you with all your general bookkeeping requirements, either at your offices or at our office. You may require help to write up books or need us to add the finishing touches to information on bookkeeping systems in order to create your own management information. If you do not employ a bookkeeper then we can take up the role or help you recruit the right person for your business.

Business planning and forecasts
Every business should plan ahead to ensure success but daily business pressures often conspire to delay the strategic planning process. Financial forecasts are a crucial part of any business plan and we will ensure these are both meaningful and robust.

Liaising with banks and institutions
We offer support when liaising with banks and other financial institutions. Drawing on our wealth of experience we can support our clients through this often daunting experience.

We have excellent links to a number of gap funders inparticular:

Finance Cornwall,  a local business finance company set up in 2002, and based in Truro.  They work with businesses in Cornwall and Scilly that need finance to start, grow or for a change of ownership, specialising in gap funding.  That is to fill gaps in funding that the banks and others can’t meet. In many cases they provide the missing piece of finance that allows a commercially viable project to move ahead. Finance Cornwall can provide straightforward business loans right through to venture capital, and anything in between.  For more information click on the link below

The South West Investment Group (SWIG) is one of the largest providers of complementary loan finance to small and medium sized businesses in the South West. SWIG has to date invested over £7 million pounds into over 650 businesses in the South West to help them start up or expand their operations. This has so far helped to create 1300 jobs in the region.  Applications must be submitted by an approved business advisor, including Business Link and local Enterprise Agencies in the public sector and accountants in the private sector.
