… the new small business support programme
|
Research
shows that 4 out of 5 businesses
fail within the first 5 years. Even
worse… 57% of business start-ups
fail in the first 12 months!
It
has also been found time and time again
that businesses that plan and seek professional
advice from the outset have a significantly
greater chance of being very successful.
SureStart
is designed to help your business overcome
the hurdles that trip up 80% of new
businesses, and to help it become
highly successful.

As you will
see, it's worth as much as £5,332 plus VAT
- but the good news is that your investment will
only be from email
us for a fixed fee quotation.
What's
more, since we appreciate that cash flow is all-important
in the early years of a new business, we will invite
you to pay email
us for a price up front and the balance spread
over the year as 11 monthly standing order payments
- with no additional charge.

BoardView.
One of the things that all of the UK's most
successful companies have in common is that
they hold regular board meetings to discuss
strategy. What's more, in our experience, when
smaller businesses - even one man band businesses
- start holding board meetings they immediately
start thinking like, acting like and achieving
like their bigger and more successful counterparts.
We'll gladly come to any of your key business
meetings as a resource to help you make the
very best use of your time. And you can use
us in any way you want - from silent observer
to adjudicator, technical adviser to independent
sounding board, chairman to minute taker, or
even as the facilitator for brainstorming sessions. |
