At YM Accountants, our business consultation and advice services help you understand where your business is today and where it could be tomorrow. We combine benchmarking, forecasting, business health checks, valuations and strategic planning so you can make confident, evidence-based decisions.
Whether you are a start-up, a growing company or planning an exit, we take time to understand your goals, your challenges and your numbers. Our advisers turn complex financial information into clear insights and practical next steps, so you know exactly which actions will have the biggest impact on performance, profit and cash flow.
As part of our business consultation and advice, we can also work alongside external guidance and tools. For example, we may help you develop or refine your business plan using the GOV.UK business plan guidance and explore funding options using the British Business Bank business guidance .
These independent resources, combined with our tailored advice, give you a clearer picture of your options and the steps needed to secure finance, improve performance and manage risk.
How our business consultation and advice supports you
- Benchmarking: compare your results against similar businesses to highlight strengths, weaknesses and realistic growth opportunities.
- Business forecasting: review your existing plans, analyse financial forecasts and perform revenue projections to test “what if” scenarios.
- Business health checks: assess financial performance, cash flow, pricing, marketing, systems and team structure to identify risks early.
- Business valuation support: provide valuations for mergers, business sales and purchases, exit planning and shareholder changes.
- Strategic plans: help you build clear operational strategies, growth systems and SMART goals, then monitor results against those targets.
Our aim is to give you practical, actionable recommendations rather than theoretical reports, so you leave each consultation knowing exactly what to do next.
Our business consultation and advice services work best when combined with our other specialist support, including Business Support, Taxation, Accounting and Payroll. Together, these services give you a joined-up approach to finance, compliance and strategy.
