Start Up Support
I can guide you right through the process from idea to start-up and beyond, if needed.
From supporting you through
- The market research stage
- Identifying competitors
- Identifying what your USP is
- Focusing on your marketing
- Your pricing and all aspects of finance
- Business planning and cashflow – I have developed my own easy to use business plan templates and cashflow forecasts to make it (what) accessible to my clients
- Accessing loans and grants
- The best legal structure for your business
- Business planning and completing your business plan and cashflow
Once your business is established, I can provide you with user-friendly bookkeeping and accountancy systems and, if required, point you in the right direction for business banking, insurance, website design and accountancy services.
As well as support you through the business and financial plans for funding or loans.
“Big massive thanks Darren and this justifies the glowing feedback you get from the other businesses you’ve helped to start, I’ve had 3 different advisors who’ve had me doing 3 different plans and I just couldn’t get past halfway but you do things different and with no pressure because you reassure us you’ll correct any mistakes and let us put all our ideas out in whatever order because you’ll put them right, it’s only a business plan to an advisor but it’s a nightmare for the likes of me who didn’t bother with school.”
“Being with Darren is always energising and he makes me feel empowered in my capacity to create my dreams and the things that excite me the most in my life.
Darren’s approach is wonderful as he is not arrogant and speaks to you on your same level. He also has a very positive perspective about people.
Always being able to see through and appreciate the best in you.”
“Darren is one of the main reasons our business still exists. We met him back in 2019 and he helped us with every aspect of setting up the business and applying for a start-up loan. Darren’s guidance made sure we had all it takes to smoothly run a business, in our case a coffee shop and deli. Of all the professionals we have had to approach during the past 2 years with matters related to our business, Darren has always been the most knowledgeable, supportive and reliable one. Like many other people he assisted, we can’t thank enough.”
