Support for every stage
Starting your own business is exciting and rewarding. It can also be overwhelming in the beginning and many find it difficult to know what to focus on as the business grows. We’re here to support you with the right resources, tips, tools, and information to help you at any stage of your new business.
Stage 1. Plan your business
It’s important to spend some time and effort in the planning stage to give your new business the best chance of success. Writing a business plan will help you to focus on details of your financial goals, operational requirements and analyse the feasibility of the business. When you’re in the planning stage, you can work out the basics of running your business, how to manage finances and start setting some goals.
A documented business plan also makes it easier for investors, landlords and lenders to understand your goals and strategies, and in turn support your enterprise.
Stage 2. Set up your business
You need to get the basics right when setting up your business, including registering your business, setting up bank accounts and working out how you want to handle payments. We have partnerships, business transaction accounts and 24/7 support from our business bankers to help you set up the business correctly from the start.
Stage 3. Running your business
Manage your books
Once you’re up and running, it’s time to start thinking about managing the books and keeping on top of administration. Our business transaction accounts have the features to help your start-up get paid on time, manage your receipts and integrate with accounting software. We also have business tools, calculators and templates to help you with business budgets, cashflow forecasts, recruitment and more.
