Every business must plan ahead to ensure success. The result of poor planning is often rushed and misinformed decisions, inefficiency and missed opportunities. Every business owner needs to invest time in developing a long-term plan, starting with what you want to achieve and your reasons for being in business.
Maidment Judd are well placed to help you develop these plans and have considerable experience and expertise to draw on. The financial aspects are usually the backbone to any business plan and you need to ensure that this aspect has been adequately dealt with.

Business start-up
Most people who start up in business do so because they have a good business proposition, not because they are experts in the financial aspects of running a business. These factors can often be quite daunting to the entrepreneur and this is where we can help by evaluating your ideas and helping you develop them into a feasible business.
We can also help you:
- decide on the most suitable structure for your business (i.e. sole trader, partnership or limited company)
- prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets and trading forecasts to prove the financial viability of your ideas and demonstrate this to the bank / potential investors
- assess your finance requirements and access the most appropriate source of finance
- carry out registration procedures with Companies House, Inland Revenue or Customs and Excise
- set up an internal accounting system which complies with statutory requirements

I have found MJ Books to be practical and easy to use.
I have found MJ Books to be practical and easy to use. For example the double entry system has a formula in the middle column that signals if both sides are not balanced. This simple device makes it hard to make an arithmetic mistake. The other real benefit has been the VAT calculation. You enter your data as you go along and when the letter arrives from Customs and Excise you simply click on the VAT tab and your calculations have been done for you.
MJ Books has saved me a great deal of time and given me the reassurance that I am keeping my accounts up to date and accurate. It is worth having a go with it.
