Below I explain which partners are really useful and at what stage they become important.
Your accountant
For most entrepreneurs, the accountant is the closest adviser. Not only for bookkeeping, but also for taxes, planning and strategy.
- tax returns and VAT
- financial reports
- advice on investments and remuneration
- early warning if something goes wrong
A good accountant thinks proactively, not only reacts afterwards.
Your bank
A reliable banking partner is essential for payments, financing and guarantees.
- separate business account
- loans or leasing
- online banking tools
- possibly overdraft facilities
Compare offers. Conditions can vary more than many expect.
Your lawyer
You do not need a lawyer every day, but when you do, it is better to have one you trust.
Contracts, disputes, liability issues and employment matters quickly become complex without legal guidance.
Your insurer
Insurance is there to protect both business and private assets.
- professional liability
- fire and theft insurance
- car insurance
- income protection
Not all entrepreneurs need the same policies. The right mix depends on your activity.
My advice
Build your network step by step. You do not need every partner on day one, but it pays to know whom to call when something happens.
During a consultation, we can map out together:
- which risks are relevant to your business
- which partners are already in place
- where support is still missing
- how to coordinate everyone efficiently
