I assist businesses raise funds through this new form of finance that’s peer-to-peer and equity crowd funding.With per-to-peer funding you need to convince someone the money they lend to you is safe in your hands and will be returned to them with interest. With equity crowdfunding you have to go further by convincing a third party to invest in your business where there is no security to support their investments. So, how are you going to do this if you do not appeal to them? The answer is to look at the fund raising exercise as more of a marketing campaign rather than just a fund-raising exercise. So, to add to the chances of success you need to create a “following” that will also be fans of the business before the fund-raising exercise begins. It’s important to choose the right site and I know about these and can assess which of the many sites now listed are suitable for your business and is more likely to be successful in raising your funds.The tasks then fall into three before a site will accept the proposal and publicise it on their site:• A professionally produced video pitch • A well written business plan; and• A set of numbers, that’s a balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow statement.I would not profess to be an expert in making videos; however I do know a good business plan when I see it. I have read several over the years and can tell those that have been well researched and put together. I would not write if t for you but would be a critical friend when reviewing it.Once you have a fair idea of how the plan looks we need to put together some numbers. I can help you as I have been involved in many fund raising exercises and have a template which can be adapted to provide the sites with the information they require.I can help by being independent and looking at your plan through the eyes of a potential investor before it goes on line and you risk a rejection.

For over a quarter of a century I helped businesses keen to grow acquire other businesses…the right ones. I did this by carrying out a bespoke search of suitable targets; drawing up a short list; arranging for approaches to be made; I helped negotiate terms; assisted in raising the finance if required and was available throughout the process thus saving clients time and providing valuable research about the market place and opportunities available to you even if you decided not to go ahead with the purchase. If on the other hand you would like to see what your business is worth, then I would carry out an assessment identify the areas which need to be worked on in order to make it into a saleable business, the timescales and risks invlved.If your bank facilities are due for their annual renewal, then I used a useful tool to review your finances in order that I can place you in the best position when negotiating overdraft and loan facilities and ideally put you in a position to minimise the interest costs going forward.

During my time at Moore Stephens I was involved in the audit of Small and Meduim Enterprise Companies This experience enabled me to appreciate how larger firms of accountancy practices operated and provides me with the skills needed to handle their approaches when they are acting for the other side in a transaction. For six months I was responsible for reporting the deliveries of steel from production plants in the Midlands and North West where I worked under my own initiative and to tight reporting deadlines. This experience gave me an understanding and appreciation of how business operate when they are placed under quotas with restrictive levels of sales and outputs and how they made the best use of the opportunities presented by these restrictions

I worked on the preparation of the year end and management accounts of a number of small business, including owner managed companies and partnerships.In those days we would work under a senior until we were able to work on our own and/or supervise others. Most of the time I worked at client's premises, preparing the accounts, working out their tax liabilities and performing the audit.I was soon discussing the accounts with clients and sorting out problems so that the client was able to receive more valuable and relevant information about their accounts and the businesses they were running.I learnt a huge amount here and was fortunate to have been given this opportunity.
