Business owners – especially new owners – inevitably find themselves receiving a lot of well-meaning advice. But while friends, family and other contacts are only trying to help, there’s absolutely no substitute for the kind of guidance you will get from a firm whose own success is based on ensuring its clients succeed in the business world.
Meridian Accounting & Business Services is one such firm, and we can provide you with expert business advice based on years of experience and a deep understanding of all of the financial and government systems involved in running a company.
This blog entry, then, is a summary of why seeking professional business advice – as opposed to relying on the input of employees/acquaintances or, perhaps even worse, trying to work out every little thing on your own – is so important.
Start Your New Business Right
It’s a sad fact that a high proportion of new businesses fail in the first few years. Don’t be a statistic – get qualified business advice from the outset. Doing so can help your fledgling firm stay on top of everything from registration and other necessary administration to budgeting and cashflow. Your advisor will inform you of the best options for your situation (industry, size, location, goals, etc.), whether that be regarding structuring or software or whatever else.
Know When to Change and Grow
When we talk about expert business advice, that includes being able to regularly consult with your advisor about when it’s the right time to take advantage of potential opportunities in the market. Operations that don’t change and grow risk stagnating. Fortunately, your advisor will have been down this road many times before and understand how to overcome the challenges and how to avoid making a bad decision at a crucial point. Future professional business advice you receive may relate to activities like restructuring or succession planning.
Ensure You Remain Financial Healthy
The key to financial health is ensuring that your firm’s finances are always up to date, for correct reporting, accurate forecasting and much more. Your advisor will make sure that you are able to find help with any aspect that is giving you trouble, e.g. insurance. At Meridian Accounting & Business Services, we can handle all of your accounting needs as well as imparting qualified business advice.
Plan Effectively for Tax Times
When it comes to maximising the tax outcomes for your company, you could “learn the hard way” by slowly discovering what works and what doesn’t over a number of years. But why would anyone do that when they could simply seek expert business advice and have an advisor outline the optimum investments, etc. (with respect to tax) for their operation right now?
