Starting a Business

The Business Start Up package recognises people rarely set up a business to do the admin; it just comes as part of the deal. White Egret Limited will help to set up appropriate systems and can continue to work with the business until it is established. Also, there are many things to consider such as Health and Safety, marketing and finance. We can guide a new business owner through these processes, leaving him or her free to concentrate on doing what he or she does best.

Business Link in Dorset and Hampshire offers an excellent free training programme and all businesses starting up would benefit from their help. White Egret Limited would expect any business using its start up programme to first commit to undertake the Business Link training so that they can take advantage of the free Government support available.

White Egret would be able to help with practical input on:

Finance and cash requirements
Administration
Health and Safety, employment and other compliance issues
Marketing

It can cost £1 to more than £1,000,000 to start up a business and it is important to ensure the right amount of money is available at the outset to allow the business to establish itself before it is able to generate a profit. Reviewing finance and cash requirements before the business begins to spend money ensures its resources are used to their best potential. White Egret Limited can help to define what money is needed, whether it is practical to raise more and how best to focus what is available.

Good administration systems will reduce the time spent on paperwork and will reduce costs of outside help such as bookkeeping and typing. White Egret Limited work out with a new business what records are needed and establish the best way to keep them up to date.

All businesses need to consider Health and Safety, employment and other compliance issues. We can review the relevant issues with you and offer basic help. In a specialist area, we may refer you to one of our associates for more in depth help.

Once the structure is in place, that is the time to consider marketing the business. There are many ways to do this and we can help a new business to decide on their objectives what is an appropriate way forward to achieve those goals.

Whatever the reason for wanting to start a business and whatever the nature of that business, White Egret Limited will be able to offer experienced help and support.
