Business Support Services

Your success is our success.

We’re more than just your accountants. We’re an extension of your team – and we can’t wait to help you grow and scale your business to levels you never thought were possible.

Business support when you need it most.

“Positive, proactive, working for our success and more than earning our trust. If we’d known them earlier we’d probably be retired by now.”

“CGA transformed how we manage our accounts. We moved from constantly feeling on the back foot to having clarity and confidence — particularly as our turnover doubled and VAT became more complex. The whole team are proactive, knowledgeable and genuinely supportive.”

“CGA are a pleasure to work with, they really take the headache out of accounting! I have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“Approachable, proactive and always looking at the bigger picture — I have complete confidence in CGA.”

“More than accountants — CGA are a sounding board, a business barometer and a trusted part of our team.”

“Even as a self-confessed number-phobic, I’ve found CGA patient, proactive and genuinely supportive — they’ve changed the way I manage my business finances.”

"CGA has helped me transform Silverdoor from a profitable little business to one that is marching into a new sphere of business where turnover is now in the millions and a sale could be on the cards further down the cards. They have put in processes for us to handle the financial side much more efficiently and aided us in bringing in best practices to all areas that impact the finances. To sum it up they have installed a professional set-up to the business which has allowed us to expand and do things properly. I count CGA as an integral part of the silverdoor team."

Business advisory services - We support owner-managed businesses through important decisions - from valuations and succession planning to buying or selling a business. Our role is to ensure the numbers, structure and tax position are properly considered. Where legal or specialist input is required, we work alongside the appropriate professionals to ensure a joined-up approach.
Business structure and incorporation - We help choose the optimal legal structure for your business to mitigate risk and provide various operational and tax benefits.
Business start-up planning & structure - We support new businesses from the outset - advising on legal structure, company formation, accounting system setup and tax registrations. Our focus is on getting the foundations right, identifying potential risks early and ensuring your business starts life properly structured and compliant.
Raising finance for growth - Sourcing 3rd Parties & providing supporting reports. We help businesses identify and secure the best-matched financing at each stage of development.
Clear cashflow forecasting allows you to plan ahead, anticipate funding pressures and make informed commercial decisions rather than reacting under pressure. Where your business undertakes qualifying activity, we help identify whether an R&D tax relief opportunity may exist and, where appropriate, work alongside trusted specialist advisers to ensure any claim is technically robust and properly handled.
A sounding board and shoulder to cry on…

…and much more.

How much do CGA’s business support services cost?

All businesses are different, and every client is different, which means that generic advice simply doesn’t work. At CGA, we pride ourselves on providing a bespoke, personalised service to each of our clients and their business needs therefore the cost of our services is specific to each client but we can usually give you a good indication from the initial discussions.

How will CGA’s business support services benefit my business?

It’s all well and good having a handle on your figures, but if you don’t know what to do with those figures or how to make improvements to your business so you can continue to grow and scale, you could end up feeling frustrated. We’re here to look at your business from a different perspective, with fresh ideas and advice to help maximise your chances of success.
