What Is Business Advice?

Business advice is expert, tailored guidance that helps entrepreneurs, directors, and business owners make confident decisions across every stage of their business journey — from startup to scale, and exit.

It covers financial, operational, strategic, and structural areas, including:

Business formation and structure (sole trader, LLP, Ltd, etc.)
Tax efficiency and director remuneration
Cash flow and financial forecasting
Growth strategy and funding options
Risk management and insurance planning
Succession planning and exit strategy

Whether you’re starting out, expanding, or restructuring — business advice ensures your choices are aligned with your goals and fully informed.

Why It Matters

Running a business means making dozens of decisions every week. But without guidance, it’s easy to miss opportunities, overspend on tax, or structure things inefficiently.

Professional advice helps you:

Save money with efficient tax and income strategies
Avoid regulatory pitfalls or unnecessary legal risks
Choose the right business structure for your future
Optimise how you pay yourself or reinvest in the company
Plan for growth, funding, or even stepping back someday

Business advice isn’t about telling you what to do — it’s about helping you do it better, with less stress and more clarity.

Who Needs Business Advice?

This service is ideal for:

Startups and first-time founders navigating setup and compliance
Freelancers and contractors wondering if they should incorporate
Directors of small to mid-sized companies refining structure or tax planning
Family-run businesses preparing for succession or growth
Business owners exploring exit, sale, or investment readiness
Non-UK founders or expats operating UK-registered businesses

If you’re making important decisions about your business — or feel uncertain — strategic advice can pay dividends.

Client Success Story

From Freelance Chaos to £500K Limited Company

Marco, a freelance software developer earning £120K/year, was operating as a sole trader with rising tax stress and little pension planning.

Matwill Capital helped him:

Transition to a Ltd company
Structure income through salary + dividends
Open a director pension for tax-efficient retirement saving
Build a profit strategy for his upcoming SaaS product

“I had the money — but no strategy. Now I feel like a proper business owner, not just a freelancer with spreadsheets.”
— Marco T., London

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help me decide between sole trader and limited company?
Yes. We assess your income, risk, tax position, and future plans to recommend the best structure — not just for today, but long-term.

Is this tax advice or legal advice?
We provide strategic business and tax structuring advice. For complex legal matters, we work alongside your solicitor or recommend trusted partners.

I already have an accountant. Do I still need this?
Definitely. Many accountants focus on compliance and reporting — we focus on strategy, planning, and growth.

Do you help with funding or investor readiness?
Yes — we advise on financial modelling, valuation prep, and key metrics to present to lenders or investors.

Do you work with non-UK or expat founders?
Yes. We frequently support international clients operating UK businesses or setting up structures for global ventures.
