Start with an idea

Most entrepreneurs in the West Midlands start a business because they have a good idea, not because they have an expert grasp of all the financial issues involved. That’s why we recommend you come and talk to Nicklin Business Starter.

Sometimes, what sounds like a good idea and something you are passionate about needs to be discussed with someone else to see if it is financially feasible. No one wants to go into business to lose money, so speaking to someone early in the development process can help refine your ideas. At Nicklin Business Starter, we can help with your business plans and financial projections and pass on our expertise.

In addition to providing the dedicated financial advice that all start-up and small businesses need, we have links with other organisations that can also provide further assistance.

By working with us, you can use the purpose-built online accounting software provided by Liberty Accounts free for 12 months. This will make it easier for your new business to manage its bookkeeping and payroll needs, as well as enhance your communication with us as your accountants at vital times during the financial year. Why not have a go with the no obligation trial?

Furthermore, as your business grows, you can take advantage of all the services provided by our sister company Nicklin LLP – which has offices in Halesowen and Birmingham – while still working with an accountancy firm that knows your business inside out.

Nicklin Business Starter is part of ICAEW Business Advice Service(BAS), which means we are committed to discussing the needs of your start-up business at an initial meeting for no charge.

One of the first decisions to make when starting a business is whether to run as a limited company, sole trader, partnership or limited liability partnership. This decision may not be solely financially motivated, but we are here to guide you through the process.

In addition, further information on Companies House and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) can be found on the relevant departmental websites.

Nicklin Business Starter can also recommend other businesses in the Black Country and wider West Midlands – such as printers and website designers – that you may need to work with. Please contact us for more information.
