 Who can help me?
The first step is to track down good advice and information if you are looking at any aspect of finance for your business.
Probably your single most important source of advice will be your accountant. If you don't yet have one, the best way to choose an accountant (or any other adviser) is by
recommendation from trusted business friends and contacts. Our page on Accountants has details of professional bodies who can help you find accountants in your area
who specialise in your type of business. Your solicitor can also advise.
Most banks have specific arrangements to help their new business customers. As well as providing overdraft and loan finance many can also provide guidance on financial
management and on starting up a business - including how to prepare your business plans.
