Overview:
Cash Flow Improvement
You'll gain peace of mind from being able to predict and produce the cash flow you need to trade securely and viably.
We ensure that you monitor your cash flow properly to meet your obligations readily.
When you are able to forecast cash flow and act promptly to deal with anticipated shortfalls, your business will run smoothly.
At B Walker and Company, we have tools that support your cash flow budget. We can set up internal software that will keep you fully informed.
You'll benefit from techniques we will show you that speed up cash flow. These include better collection methods to cut payment times, and terms that support legal collection from non-paying customers.
Your business can grow more quickly through the options we can show you, such as bank guarantees and debtor finance for faster cash collection.
Profitability and Performance Measurement
You'll appreciate the benefits of the diagnostic tools we use to check the health of your business.
An annual review of your business gives you a clear comparison with the previous year's results. That's how we ensure that your business is growing soundly. In the process we help you rectify any reduced margins or avoidable cost increases.
Our software analysis will show you the effects of your investment decisions on profitability and cash flow. Your results graph will rise after improvements you can make with the greater knowledge we provide.
Most importantly, checking against industry benchmarks helps you remedy any under-performance in your business. It protects you from an ATO audit should your reported results be under their median level.
Growth Planning and Assistance
Your business will grow more securely and reliably with the help of B Walker and Company's skilled analysis of your progress.
We show you the areas within your operation that need more attention. Here is the checklist we use to assess how your business is tracking:
innovation
products and services
margins
cash flow
people
clients, and
sales, distribution and marketing
Your business will benefit from measuring your performance to date in all of these areas. The knowledge you gain will inform your business decisions and help you stride ahead confidently.
You'll also learn how to improve your management processes. In this way, you'll build a structure that supports your goals. Your business will move swiftly to your targeted level of success, and beyond.
Asset Protection and Structuring
Your future prosperity depends crucially on the right business structure.
Our experience helps you choose the business format that will maximise net returns, minimise tax and protect your assets. We can advise you whether to set up as a:
sole trader
partnership
company
self-managed super fund
joint venture, or
trust (bare, unit or discretionary)
You'll gain substantial and lasting benefits from choosing the right structure for your business. You can secure your personal and business assets as well as reducing capital gains tax liability when selling.
Good structure allows you to minimise tax as you maximise net income and it fosters tax-effective estate planning. Our advice on this vital step can help you retain the wealth you've worked so hard to acquire.
Sale and Succession Planning
When you decide to sell or it's time to retire, we'll help you to realise all of the wealth you have created through your business. Whether you are moving on to a new business or securing your retirement funds, a successful transfer is crucial.
The decisions you make about how to sell have major legal and tax consequences. We'll help you right through the sales process, from making a correct valuation to marketing your business. We'll take calls from prospective buyers and deal with solicitors and banks.
You should act as early as possible in considering the future. We can help you make a succession plan right now. It will help avert any potential disagreements between joint owners or among family members who take over from you when you retire.
Good planning covers all likely events, including a future sale or a transfer of the business within the family. As well, you need to make an effective will and have all legal documents for the business in order. We can assist on the financial aspects of any legal matter.
At B Walker and Company, we can help you to assess a prospective business thoroughly before you make a decision to buy it.
We'll provide an accurate valuation, help you negotiate with the seller, and project realistic cash flows. Our review of contracts and other legal documents will minimise or remove liability for GST on the purchase.
Our experience covers all business ventures, from joint purchases to the acquisition of shares in a business, from buying a franchise to establishing a new business.
Buying or starting a business
The pre-purchase advice that B Walker and Company provides could be one of the best investments you’ll ever make.
The benefits are many. You’ll receive a true valuation of the business, protecting you against paying too much. We’ll check that the business generates enough income to meet wages and finance costs. You’ll be confident that the business is sound, with potential to grow.
Rigorous checks: As well as checking the adequacy of cash flow, we review past performance to ensure that the business is growing not declining and we benchmark results against industry standards. We assess the reasonableness of expenses and identify any missing or understated amounts.
Minimising tax: If you decide to purchase, we can show you the most tax-effective way to structure your ownership of the business. We ensure that GST treatment of the purchase is correct and that prepaid amounts, which affect cash flow and therefore the value of the business, are taken into account.
We help you negotiate to buy the business at true value. An independent expert
checks our valuation.
Start with care: Founding a new business is even riskier than buying an established business. We’ll test the viability of your business plan and help you structure the business for most profit and least tax.
We can help you with all aspects of a start-up: from naming the business to budgeting and funding; from insurance and superannuation to marketing and distribution; and from management support to developing the business and measuring your success.
Set for success: With our expert help, your peace of mind comes from knowing that you have bought or founded a solid business with good prospects for growth and profit as you work towards financial independence. |
