			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Changing your accountants can seem a potentially arduous process, fraught with difficulty and red tape.</p>
<p>The reality is that a standard protocol does exist within the industry for enabling the switching process. <strong>The only things a client has to do are:</strong></p>
<p>+ Write to their existing accountants informing them of their to decision to appoint new advisors<br />

<p>If you are thinking of changing your accountant, there are likely to be various reasons, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>High fees or receiving unexpectedly large bills</li>
<li>Poor communication</li>
<li>Only hearing from your accountant once a year</li>
<li>Receiving only a limited service with little commercial insight and direction</li>
<li>Advice that is difficult to understand or realise</li>
<li>Dislocation of service</li>
</ul>
<p>Whatever your reason for considering a change of accountant, why not consider our service offering.<br />

<ul>
<li>A fixed annual fee, payable in monthly instalments without an interest charge</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Starting a new business is a huge step for many people, the confidence factor playing a major part in their decision to take the plunge.

<p>Preparedness is a vital factor for delivering success within new start ups. Blossom Stream Limited prides itself on helping new businesses and self employed people attain the levels of preparation necessary to be a success.</p>
<p>Start up preparation comes in many forms, such as the obvious ones like having a business plan to the more abstract kinds such as formulating strategy, developing unique selling points and commercial approaches which outperform the competition. Our experience within business can help you marry the legislative requirements of starting up with the longer term commercial nous needed to stay ahead and stay profitable.</p>
<p>Here are some typical examples of how we can help you on the start up journey and going forward :</p>
<ul>
<li>Deciding on what legal form to assume</li>
<li>How to extract profits in the most effecient way</li>
<li>Building a robust financial system that can withstand the rigours of a potential tax investigation</li>
<li>Navigating through employment law and establishing a payroll sytem</li>
<li>Securing and pitching for external sources of finance</li>
<li>Developing unique selling points</li>
<li>Expanding your service and product offering</li>
<li>Using cost effective marketing techniques</li>
<li>Punching above your weight</li>
<li>Being innnovative and new</li>
<li>Implementing a website you can publish and manage content through yourself</li>
<li>Building a sustainable and lasting business you can pass onto your children</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just a few of the ways we can help you.</p>
<p>As a start up or existing business you should also consider the durability of your advisors. Of paramount importance, is having a qualified business professional on the other end of the phone, who won&#8217;t charge you a fortune, and be there for you in the longer term.</p>
