Rural businesses
From understanding comes the best advice
Lincolnshire is one of the least densely populated counties in the UK and for businesses based in some of the coastal areas and remote rural communities this can lead to additional challenges not faced by their urban counterparts.
• Difficulty in recruiting the right calibre of staff
• Poor service from suppliers
• Technology shortfalls
• Limited local customer base
As a practice based in Lincolnshire, many of our clients fall into this category so we understand how these factors can affect a business and also what measures can be taken to improve the situation.
One of the problems facing businesses that are based "off the beaten track" is the availability of quality suppliers and this includes professional services such as accountancy, payroll, IT and corporate finance.
As a top 60 accountancy practice, our Louth office can also draw on the expertise within Forrester Boyd giving you the prompt access and the personal touch of a local rural practice with the support and specialist expertise of a large independent -
• Accountancy services
• Tax planning
• Corporate finance
• Wealth Management
• Personal financial services
• Payroll outsourcing
• IT systems and support
At Forrester Boyd, we don't just offer accountancy services, we can advise on all aspects of your business and individual finances.
Working with rural businesses to shape their future
Companies based in rural locations are not only faced with the everyday challenges concerning all businesses in today¹s tough economic climate, but also a number of issues specific to their location. These can range from shortfalls in infrastructure to poor service from suppliers and problems recruiting the right staff - all of which can affect the performance of a business.
You need specialist business and accountancy advice from people who understand these problems and have ideas and solutions to help build your business. Wherever you are based, we will provide the same level of personal service that all our clients receive.
• Spending time in your business to fully understand its dynamics
• Providing regular face to face reviews
• Availability of partners and accountants for queries
• Proactive business and tax planning
• Availability of specialist expertise including VAT, HMRC inspections, IHT and funding
We can also help to ease the pressures on you and your time by providing bookkeeping and payroll services as well as HR and IT support.
The Forrester Boyd Team
As a business based in Louth, in the heart of rural Lincolnshire, we have a great deal of experience in working with businesses in rural and remote locations. Not only are we a rural business our self, but the majority of our clients are based in locations away from large towns or cities and the resources and facilities they provide.
The Louth office of Forrester Boyd is headed up by a team of three partners with more years¹ experience than they care to be reminded of! The three, Steve Czornyj, Chris Hunt and Alan Nesbitt work closely with many rural businesses in all sorts of sectors, including farming, manufacturing, professional, tourism and retail to name but a few.
This breadth and depth of experience offers real insight into how people and companies in apparently very different business types have many common areas of concern. This insight along with an enthusiasm to get to know their clients¹ businesses in as much detail as possible means that the three partners, along with their teams, can provide an individual and pro-active service to promote growth and ensure that as much of that growth is retained as possible.
Each of the individual partners brings their own personal approach to the job, based upon a common foundation of professional expertise and client-focused service. Their technical expertise is allied to a friendly personal approach and an all important sense of humour.
The aim with new clients to the firm is to match them with the partner whose background and approach best suits the client¹s needs and personality. This greatly improves the development of the business relationship on a personal level which is key to the long term success of that relationship.
