Growing Businesses

Looking for business growth?

Whatever the stage in your business life, for most, business growth is key.

Whether you dream of owning a business empire or operating a small business from home there will always be a time when you are looking to grow your business.

As the American millionaire James Cash Penney (founder of JCPenney, the US department store chain) said business “Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together”.

Team work grows businesses. It’s not always easy to find the right team players, who share the same passion and drive to take your business to the next level. This is where we come in!

We’ve a great track record working in partnership with our growth clients. We work with ambitious business owners who are determined to grow a successful business; people with big dreams, who value service and need an equally ambitious accountant/tax advisor.

For over 25 years we’ve helped lots of businesses, like you, fulfil their dreams. At Friend & Grant our attention is on you and your business 100% of the time. For example:

Starting out in business can be a very daunting prospect as you enter the world of tax and employment law, as well as having to learn to undertake roles required in business, book keeping, management, marketing and sales etc.  This is where I believe Friend & Grant Ltd differ from other accountants.

Any accountant can balance your books and submit your accounts however Friend and Grant do much more than that.  Over the past 13 years Mark and his staff have helped me expand my simple service company into multiple Limited Companies selling internationally, employing a range of staff and owning our own property.

Friend & Grant Ltd is a modern, forward thinking and progressive company and is much more than just a firm of accountants.  Their friendly and approachable staff are always my first port of call when I need any business advice and I trust them completely to manage my financial affairs in a 100% professional and tax efficient way.  I have no hesitation in recommending the services and staff of Friend & Grant Ltd to any business.  They have taken the time to understand my business and provide me with professional and knowledgeable service whenever I need it.

I meant to thank you for last management session and for the books you gave me especially ‘They Ask You Answer’ by Marcus Sheridan.

As you know, I was mostly interested in our website and its management. We did not get enough enquiries and SEO felt like we were pouring money in a bottomless pit.

Your session and the lecture of the related chapter of the book sparked a major brain storming session and exchanges with my SEO guy. We made lots of changes to the website, moving away from Agriculture to concentrate on the Buildings. Changes include text, keywords …. and we introduced a chat line for quick questions and answers with visitors.

The chatline is visible part of the iceberg.

We also made major changes to our Google Adwords Campaign.

And it worked.

In the space of 6 weeks we have 4 times the number of enquiries. The enquiries are a lot more relevant and have lead to much quicker sales.

All thanks to Mark’s management session.

Our 3 step risk-free guarantee puts your mind at rest and keeps us on our toes!
