Business start up solutions

You've decided to start your own business ~ now the hard work begins ...

You've found something you enjoy doing and are good at or a product or service that you're sure you can sell to others. You know you can create a successful business and earn a good living. Maybe you're fed up working for someone else, putting in all the hard work but seeing others reap the benefits?

Whatever your reasons for starting your own business, CONGRATULATIONS! This is an exciting time, your head is full of ideas, the prospect of a bright future lies ahead of you, but there are "101" things you need to do to move from dreaming to starting your business. This is where the hard work starts.

Starting a new business is not easy or risk free ~ 60% of start ups will fail within the first 5 years of trading (ONS). This is a sobering statistic. It’s not enough to be passionate about your new product or idea, or even commit every waking hour and your savings to keep it afloat. All too often companies fail due to a lack of understanding of basic managerial and financial concepts, even when the idea behind the business is sound. Managing cash flow, inventory control, people skills, responding to competition and changes in the market, a lack of sufficient capital and inadequate business planning all contribute to high rates of failure of new businesses.

But it's not all doom and gloom! These are skills that you can learn. Wood and Disney have business start up solutions which with our advice and support will help you ensure that your business succeeds, grows and thrives.

How can Wood and Disney help you?

We have helped many start ups get off the ground and go on to grow and flourish ...

... all have faced problems but with Wood and Disney's advice and support and the commitment, determination and hard work of their owners, they've overcome set backs, created opportunities and moved forward to be successful, well run companies.

Wood and Disney can't promise to magic away all the worries; you will still have to put in many hours of hard work, be committed and determined to succeed. You'll feel conflicted between putting in the hours demanded by your business and family time. But the rewards of creating and running a successful business in terms of personal satisfaction and fulfillment, financial security fro you and your family and creating something tangible to hand on to the next generation are, in our experience, well worth it!

Wood and Disney can offer you a turnkey business start up solution: take care of all your compliance requirements, put in place financial structures, prepare your books, management accounts and year end accounts from day 1, give you structured business advice, help you with marketing plans, business plans, cash flow forecasts etc, introduce you to investors ....

For some new businesses this is the right choice if they have financial resources in place and a ready market which ensures that they will be profitable from launch. However, most new start ups begin on a much smaller scale, with limited financial resources and an order book that gradually grows. They can't support the cost of full professional support.

For these businesses, we encourage a more ad hoc relationship. Wood and Disney give you solutions, advice and support with your start up as you need it and as you can afford it. We can provide you with access to the resources you need to set up your business, give you checklists to ensure that your business is compliant with the law, point you in the right direction when you need a bit of guidance. If you need to come and speak to us, we'll be there and be very happy to arrange a one-off or quarterly meetings to make sure you are progressing in the right direction. Wood and Disney business start up solutions ensure that your business is structured correctly, is compliant with the law and adopts best practice from day 1. As your business grows you will need and be able to afford more advice and support and our relationship and involvement can evolve accordingly.

Wood and Disney promise:

To be honest with you - you may not always want to hear our honest opinion but we'll give it to you anyway.
To tell you straight whether in our opinion and experience you are making the right decisions - we won't always sugar coat it and we'll make sure you understand why
