Do you have a project ?
When you are considering setting up a company or developing your line of business, there are several strategies to choose from once you have clearly defined the nature of your business plan. Business magazines and advice from family and friends will come into play. The chartered accountant can also help you to verify your choice and ensure that no crucial stage has been over looked. You may be advised to buy a company rather than start up from scratch because it is more profitable for example. Whether it be buying a business or a company's stocks and bonds, you will have to make major decisions concerning fiscal, social and legal aspects.
The first step in setting up or developing a company is usually to persuade your bank manager to back you if he is convinced by your project, your dynamism, don't forget he will need various administrative documents.
The credibility of your project will depend on the pertinence of these documents.
So you want to start your company? Go ahead, but be well prepared. To succeed, you must be thorough. Your chartered accountant is there to be your main partner through out these various stages:
Which grants ?
When setting up or taking over a company, you may find yourself being mesmerised by the number and nature of grants available. However, following careful analysis you will soon narrow down the list to a few which are relative to you. Don't necessarily look for a grant which will offer you a lump sum. Other financial aids which can exempt you from costs over the next 6, 12, 24, or 36 months are just as worthy of consideration.
Consultation Voucher / "Chèque conseil"
You will receive these vouchers both preceding and during the first year of setting up or taking over a company. They are intended to encourage consultation with professionals on the preparation stage, setting up or implementation of technical procedures within the company.
