Sounding Board

You are never too small to benefit from a Financial Sounding Board.

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS:

You don’t get proactive advice on how to increase profits
You’re not sure that you use all available tax saving opportunities
Your cashflow causes you unexpected problems
You need financial advice from someone who is on your side
Your financial reports don’t help you to run or improve your business

… then we’ll solve them in a self-financing way

WHAT is a financial sounding board?

By using masses of experience with both large and small companies, you receive:

+ first rate financial analysis and advice
+ an examination of your problems and opportunities
+ someone you can bounce ideas off

ie. maximise your chances of growing successfully

You’ll feel more in control of your finances, take improved decisions based on better information and sleep easier at night.

HOW does it work?

Depending on your needs, we can help you in the following areas:

Identify tax saving opportunities
Find other financial improvements
Reduce costs
Help you raise finance and/or create a powerful business plan
Lower the costs and improve the timing and quality of your processes and reporting

What’s the best way to get going?

Coffee and a chat

Relaxed way to discuss problems and options

Usually a great way to start a business relationship in a relaxed setting. Get an early insight into key issues facing the business and how they might be addressed

Financial MOT

Find improvements via in-depth but subsidized and refundable analysis

The next stage is to reach some very specific actions to start addressing problems and opportunities into real deliverables. Our subsidized and refundable Financial MOT offers the chance to make real progress with very little commitment or cost from your side.

Annual Accounts

Reduce these costs by 10% and build from there

A necessary evil, but we’ll save you 10% off last year’s cost and in the meantime, we’ll get to know each other better and find some opportunities for improvement

Frequently Asked Questions

1) What’s the point of a financial sounding board?

Running an SME can prove a lonely process. Having a part-time financial expert to call on when you need gives you reassurance that your finances are in order, can improve the quality of your decisions and helps you sleep easier at night.

2) What if I don’t have a financial sounding board?

Many SMEs don’t have a sounding board and can survive and even perhaps thrive without one. It’s just that generally, with the right one, you’ll do even better!

3) Why a sounding board from Alpha-Financials?

With our vast array of financial experience including fund raising, banking, mergers and acquisitions and performance improvement, there are few financial issues we’ve yet to come across.

Testimonials

"... the business plan was clearly and precisely structures ... containing every material aspect ... enjoyed working with the team"

Christian Bracklow, MDBayWa-r.e Germany

"Anne Laleman from Alpha Financials was engaged by Bio-Thermal RED to deliver a workshop on Finance and Planning in Anaerobic Digestion. We found her knowledge of the subject matter and her capability to deliver a workshop to a diverse audience to be excellent. Her input was invaluable to delivering such a successful workshop and we would not hesitate to recommend her expertise of finance and the renewable energy sector."

"We needed a company to help us complete the feasibility study and a business plan. We contacted three project management companies specializing in AD to help us gain the funding. Anne Laleman & Peter Harding from Alpha Financials Ltd, took time out of their busy schedule to come and visit us at our farm to discuss the project. Anne and her team took our project on board showing as much enthusiasm for this project as we did ourselves. Any task we undertook they committed themselves 110%, their dedication was second to none. Any help we required they gave without question. The team came on fact finding missions with us all over the country - giving us support and another set of thoughts and questions to ask. They helped us put our thoughts and ideas in order which helped us move forward with our project, without Alpha we would not have such a viable business plan. We now feel confident about getting our project off the ground, to secure our future. Without Alpha Financials’ dedication and hard work our idea would still be a dream."

Greg & Sharon NicklinOwners, Derbyshire

I have worked with Alpha Financials for a number of years but wished I’d met them earlier in my business life! They’ve helped streamline my business making it much easier to run. Things get done without any fuss and they’ll say it like it is.

From the outset Alpha Financials took time to understand our business and the projects we were involved in, and engaged with our accountants to ensure all submissions were fully compliant. We would not hesitate to engage with Alpha Financials for all future R&D claims. Very professional service!!”
