Finance articles – an introduction

Quick Links: There are literally hundreds of business advice articles within the Yorkshire Powerhouse website for finance-related content – for some of the main sections please simply click on:

• Raising finance
• Why do I need an accountant?

• Tax (VAT, Corporation tax and personal)
• Insolvency (and how to avoid it!)

Good luck with your finances.

We set out to start our businesses with many motivations: fame, a love of what we do, a willingness to serve, to be the best at what we do, to create financial stability or to get filthy rich.

Whatever the reason without a sound financial model and without money, everything is hard and nothing is fun.

If you aren’t concerned about making money, either don’t go into business or find someone who is obsessed with it and take their advice. Failing to take finance seriously is the main reason why businesses can fail – ignore this at your peril!

Within this section, we provide finance articles that consider selecting the right accountant, raising finance, bookkeeping, collecting debt and the general issues surrounding taxation.

Cash flow is much more important than profit for a start-up, but ultimately profit is what keeps you going! Controlling finance is the single most important discipline for your business – take professional advice!
