Business Start-up Support

Starting a new business is a minefield of powerful emotions. It is exciting, exhilarating and can be extremely satisfying, if things go well. It can also be daunting, frustrating, stressful, and scary, especially if you have not given your business the right foundation.

​

Jumping headfirst into starting your business without having a proper foundation can be catastrophic even if you are the Usain Bolt of your subject matter! With so much regulation, economic factors, competition, and hidden expenses to consider, if there is not a comprehensive plan behind your aspirations your business could either fail to take off or stagnate very soon after opening.

​

This is where Razor Consulting business start-up support packages come in. Not only can we assist with all aspects of forming your new business, but we will also help you to cover all the bases to ensure your business has the right basis to begin trading, bring on customers, take on staff, grow and keep on growing once you have opened your doors to new business.

​

Via our new business support package, we provide you with comprehensive information and guidance to provide you with everything you need to form, register, and start trading as a legally compliant UK Company meaning you will not come unstuck later, all without the extortionate consultancy fees at a time where being efficient with money is so important. Our approach is to give you the information and afford you the time and space to go off and 'DIY' starting your business rather than forcing you to incur additional costs by us doing it for you.

​

Like many other consultancies, we do not just disappear. Our support package comes with telephone support hours so not only are you equipped with all the knowledge that you need to set up your company independently, but you are also given peace of mind that there is an experienced professional 'on-call' to help should you need it.

​

Our business start-up packages are tailored to your business, the industry it operates in and your specific needs and aspirations. However, it is important to understand that there is a lot of generic business information you must know such as how to form your company and the differences between various forms of business entities (such as limited companies, limited liability partnerships, sole traders and partnerships). This is not the most exciting part of starting a business however these are the things you need to get right. Our support package brings a wealth of information from a range of locations into easy to interpret guides meaning you do not have to tear your hair out looking all over the place for the right advice.

​
