No magic wand but free business advice

There may have been some good news for small businesses in the Chancellor’s autumn statement but there is no doubt that cash strapped SMEs and start-ups still have many obstacles to overcome in this challenging environment.

Whilst I don’t have a magic wand to solve all of their problems I am delighted that Clement Keys is able to offer a helping hand to small business via a free business advice service delivered in association with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

The Business Advice Service offers local companies a free initial consultation, which could save them money and generate ideas to create more profit.

The service is designed to enable SMEs to source advice on a wide range of issues, such as how to start a business, taxation, financial management and access to finance, so that they come away from the meeting with an understanding of their options and how to resolve a particular problem.

To take advantage of the offer, SMEs and start-ups should visit http://www.businessadviceservice.com/
and follow the initial consultation request button, which can be found next to the Clement Keys entry on the ICAEW Directory of Firms.
