IT IS ALL ABOUT PLANNING that's Business Planning!
However ambitious your ideas are, there has to be a level of planning. It may be set down in reams of spreadsheets or simply retained in your head, being fully aware of what is involved.
Regardless, you must know whether you have the funds to bring the business to profitability. Borrowing money to finance a badly planned proposal is not easy.

The Newgate Agency, if required, will act as an interface between borrower and lender, providing the additional information as and when it is required. Each lender has its own criteria in its decision making. They expect all proposals to contain a fair share of optimism and will look behind the figures, trying to expose any weaknesses.

Gone are the days of the friendly bank manager, when a quick telephone call would avert the odd cash flow crisis. The old school tie is not worth a row of beans in today's banking world. Your business is your affair and your cash flow your responsibility. If there is no wealthy relative or friend to bail you out after a spate of dastardly bad luck, you might be seriously exposed.
You have probably heard the expression 'cash is king'. A little hackneyed maybe, but so true. Your profit maybe guaranteed but without the resources to fund the trading you cannot continue. We are aware of many occasions when businessmen have been frustrated by the stranglehold of this problem. Stock in trade needs to be paid for.Credit given to customers drains your bank balance. Planning is what is required, to highlight what happens when our expectations are met or when they are not. Planning is becoming an essential part of a successful business. This is our speciality.

Whether you are forming your first business or adding to an existing one, it pays to set it up correctly. Choosing the wrong business structure will expose you to unnecessary costs and risks. Failing to address the key practical issues can result in you falling out with business partners. We will advise on:

• The relative advantages of trading as a limited company, a limited liability partnership, a partnership or a sole trader.

• The mechanics of setting up a business, to comply with the law.

• Choosing a name for your business.

• The most important practical issues - agreeing the strategy and key operational and personnel issues.

Hundreds of everyday actions affect the performance of your business, whether you are negotiating a sale, recruiting a new employee or complaining to a supplier.
Much of the working day is spent reacting to circumstances, making small decisions that have a limited, short-term impact. In contrast, creating a valuable business is about taking strategic decisions that have a lasting effect.
Unsurprisingly, this is easier said than done. But for many directors, particularly those who own a share of the business, it must be the ultimate aim.

The Newgate Agency will help you to decide what approach is appropriate for your type of business - and how you should handle different customers.
