FAQs
Preparing a business plan will help you to set clear objectives for your business and clarify your thinking. It will also help to set targets for future performance and monitor finances and profitability. It should help to provide early warning for when you might need to reconsider the plan. Always bear in mind that anyone reading the plan will need to understand the essentials of your business quickly and easily.
At Edwards, we assist a wide range of businesses with their planning process by providing financial reports and projects to support their business plans.
Almost every successful business will go through a restructure at some stage. Restructuring is about so much more than just reorganisation; it’s about making your business fit for the future. Whether you’re responding to financial changes, planning for future growth, or adapting to a merger or acquisition, company restructures are often a strategic move toward a stronger, more efficient business.
Reorganising your company structure as it grows can minimise risk in the business, protect assets and can create some tax advantages.
