David Marcussen is the key to optimising your tax structure. He helped set us up on the Enterprise Investment Scheme - a very worthwhile scheme offered by HMRC to encourage investment in start-ups. You do not want to start a business without speaking to David.

We really dislike the way the UK property market functions... nothing gets done until you have exchanged contracts and there is no such thing as a Gentleman's Agreement in the property world. Helen at Sherrards was recommend to us and she is The Deal. Helen is no bullshit, efficient, diligent and an absolute pleasure to work with - as long as she is working for you...

Emma is our "go to" person for any legal help. She has bags of expertise, a huge network and does everything herself. In the rare instance where she thinks somebody else is better qualified, she will put you in touch with the best people for the job. Emma's service and quality of work exceeds anything we have ever dealt with in our banking days, at a fraction of the cost.

Martin is a surveyor, but really he is much more. He provided us with excellent advice during the entire process of trying to secure a location for the Wine Bar & Tasting Room. He is actually the one who sniffed out the site and then helped us handle the arcane world of property. Lovely guy on top of that, who we can only highly recommend.

We hate dealing with accounting, VAT returns, Companies House filing, PAYE administration, personal tax returns and all the non value added stuff you need to do. Luckily somebody recommended Alexander Rosse & Xero accounting software ("the worlds easiest accounting software" - we agree). If you want to take the administrative headache out of running a company, so that you can focus on the important stuff, get in touch with Rash.

Our dear friend Pontus took the leap about a year before us and started up a company called Cloudreach. Cloudreach helps small and medium sized businesses move their entire IT architecture online (the famous Cloud) using Google Apps and other applications. We followed their lead on designing our IT infrastructure and are happy to say that we do NOT employ a single person for IT and do NOT operate our own servers. If you are considering this approach, speak to Pontus.

If a large German corporate has an issue with their website or want to search optimize it, Vorwaerts are the guys that get the call.
