    marketing plan for bookkeeping practice

    Thank you everyone for comments. I highly value your input and feedback. I'm sorry I won't reply individually, but I'll try explain my approach to this. First of all I would like to talk to someone who is already experienced working with accountants and bookkeepers as this is not the product of...

    Setting up bookkeeping business - any advise welcome

    Hi Russ, This is very good approach and actually one of my target segments. I already do some casual bookkeeping for few small accounting practices and this works well for both sides. So yes, I'm about to offer my services to local accounting firms first. And I'll keep in mind you do website's...

    Setting up bookkeeping business - any advise welcome

    Thank you, that sounds to be about very correct. 90% of my customers found my by recommendations and few very well known reputable accounting practices don't even have decent looking website. They invest in trust, not image and that pays off.

    Setting up bookkeeping business - any advise welcome

    This is where I'll focus the most. £1000/month is a lot, I would even say it is a great indicator of fishing in a wrong place or with wrong tools, but I don't expect it will happen for free. That one is easy. I've spent enough time to explore UK software marked and to, my suprise, discovered...

    Setting up bookkeeping business - any advise welcome

    Yes, these are essentials, thank you. My aim is to be purely online based but I would consider renting out office if see benefits of that. Thank you.

    Setting up bookkeeping business - any advise welcome

    Hi all, I'm in a bookkeeping for at about 10 years, last three years I'm working mainly with accounting practices. I love my job, I'm good with that, but having own practice is much more than only bookkeeping. It will require a lot of new skills from me - marketing (which I'm very bad at)...

    Thank's for such comprehensive response. And yes please, point me to the right broker. I can tell you a bit about my situation if that helps. I've started as a freelance bookkeeper in mid 2020. I didn't advertise at all due to time constraints, I've been working with one accounting practice...

    Considering commercial finance broker franchise

    ok guys, thanks for your comments, I'm convinced. What if I still I want to become broker - what are my options? What are the alternatives? I know banking products, but I have zero experience in UK market. Tha'ts why this franchise got my attention. Probably I can get FCA authorisation myself...

    Considering commercial finance broker franchise

    Yes, they do, it is in form of associate or smth, I don't remember now, but yes, they have that. With mcdonalds things are the same - their franchise is very expensive, but it pays off. I am not questioning what they provide for £25k, which I agree - is expensive, maybe overpriced, but such are...

    Considering commercial finance broker franchise

    That's the main thing what holds me back from trowing £25k into the business. Thanks for your response, Mark
