FAST Start

Hart Shaw, in association with Business Link Yorkshire is offering local new business start ups the opportunity to attend a FREE ‘Accountancy Session To Start’ (FAST Start). Funded by Yorkshire Forward this will provide you with the key financial essentials you need to start and run your new business.

What is this?

It is a three hour session with business professionals at Hart Shaw’s offices in Sheffield which will provide you with the key financial knowledge you need to set up and run your business successfully.

The information on offer includes:

• Understand pricing and margin in order to make a profit
• A practical introduction to Book-keeping
• A guide to credit control to ensure payments are received
• VAT, record keeping, cashflow & tax payable advice

These sessions are very hands on and will be run in very small groups (min 2 – max 6 people) giving businesses the opportunity to apply this to their own figures, and stimulate pier learning.

You can use this as an opportunity to discuss any other relevant accountancy topics with us and there is no obligation for you to use Hart Shaw as your Accountant.

What are the benefits?

Many businesses start-up without getting the basic building blocks in place, either because of cost, time, or simply not knowing where to go.

This service provides all the information needed to make a successful start in business – ensuring you understand how to price effectively, what your accounts are telling you and most importantly, how to make money.

Who is eligible for this service?

To be eligible, you won’t have started trading yet, but intend to start your business up in the Yorkshire and Humber area within the next four to six weeks.

However, there are options available for businesses that are further away from starting, or that have already started within the last two months.

We would consider that you have already started trading if you have recorded your first cash sale or raised your first invoice.

When do these sessions take place?

These sessions take place on a monthly basis at Hart Shaw’s offices on Europa Link, Sheffield Business Park, Sheffield, S9 1XU.

The next available dates are:

• Wednesday 24th March – 9am start
• Wednesday 21st April – 9am start

If you think your business can benefit from one of our free sessions please contact James Taylor on T: 0114 251 8850 to book your place.
