Webinar: ‘Ensuring your business and personal finances take off together’
The launch of a business is much like a flight taking off. There is a lot to consider and a lot at stake. For example, safety checks, infrastructure, a reliable team, external conditions, and your final destination. It is vital to ensure that everything is prepared and ready before you launch.
If you are starting a business or just started a business, it could be a great time to join our Q&A webinar series.
We are launching a series of webinars in support of business owners for all stages of the business lifecycle. Whether it is take off, growth, exit or an emergency landing.
Our first in the series is all about core considerations when starting a new business. We have invited Alan Ramsden from GWM and Claire Barringer from Rayner Essex to our expert panel to answer your questions.

Claire Barringer
Director of Accounting Solutions
I spend a lot of my time advising clients on accounting software and solutions to bookkeeping issues. My aim is to make it as painless as possible, ensuring they have an efficient streamlined system leaving them with the valuable time they need to run their business.
Outside of work my time is taken up by two very active kids. In the last year they have forced me into being a Saracens season ticket holder and I must admit I’m now beginning to enjoy it!
