Free professional help for entrepreneurs

Free professional help for entrepreneurs

A new website has been launched specifically to provide entrepreneurs with free tools, resources, training and guidance from some of the UK’s leading authors, accountants and business advisers.

In June 2009 the Governor of The Bank of England predicted that the UK would face a "long, hard slog" back to recovery, so for the unprepared there will still be a great deal of pain ahead before the recession is really over. Therefore www.recessionresources.co.uk has been designed to give business owners access to all the no-cost help and support they need to avoid that pain, including:

1. A comprehensive diagnostic review of your main opportunities to strengthen your business and personal cashflow – covering everything from improving sales and margins, to working capital management and leading edge tax planning. The findings will be presented in the form of a hard-hitting ‘Key Improvement Possibilities’ report. As part of this you can also request the following:

2. Detailed benchmarking report – This report will reveal how your business compares to others in your industry across 19 key measures. It will identify where your true strengths and weaknesses lie. It will calculate how much higher your profits and cashflow could be if you were able to emulate the results of your more successful rivals. And it will make preliminary recommendations for what the evidence suggests you can do to beat the recession. To help you to develop these ideas further you can also request the following:

3. Suite of multi-media profit improvement software - Since the only sustainable source of non-repayable cash is making more profitable sales, this software uses hundreds of practical UK examples, case studies and video/audio files to help you to develop a detailed action plan, and estimate the financial impact of that plan. And in case that is not enough you can also request the following:

4. Five "How to beat the recession" videos and books - Four of the world’s leading business authors have contributed their key thoughts to the website’s resource bank. As a result you can watch their specially commissioned videos and claim a complimentary copy of what many regard as the most practical anti-recession book on the market, Nicholas Bate’s "Beat the recession".

All of these recession resources, along with the related one-to-one support and guidance from leading professional accountants across the UK, are available free of charge through www.recessionresources.co.uk Together they will help entrepreneurs to develop, fine tune and implement their action plans so that they come out the other side of the recession stronger than ever before.

Entrepreneurs using the service will not have to switch accountant or do anything to upset existing arrangements with their accountants and business advisers. All of the help provided through www.recessionresources.co.uk is intended to sit alongside rather than replace what their existing advisers are doing for them.
