THE STARTUP HANDBOOK
A SHORT GUIDE TO THE OPERATIONAL HEADACHES THAT SLOW FOUNDERS DOWN
Starting a business is an exciting and rewarding experience when things go well. It can also be one of the most challenging processes an individual can embark on professionally and as a result, can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Dragon Argent’s Startup Handbook has been designed to give entrepreneurs an edge when approaching some of the most fundamental operational challenges including:
Company Formation: Get the fundamental building blocks in place to help you establish the most suitable, tax efficient and future proofed foundation on which to operate and grow your business
Legal Framework: Build a fit for purpose legal framework for your business that protects the long-term interests of shareholders and understand your obligations and risks as a director
Accounting Best Practice: Understand the importance of utilising accounting best practice standards in your business to stay compliant with HMRC and enable optimized decision making
Commercial Roadmap: Deploy Lean Startup concepts to develop a minimum viable product, establish product-market fit and build a go-to-market strategy to ensure commercial success
Corporate Strategy: Utilise the tax reliefs that make startups attractive investment opportunities, demystify venture capital and discover the art of the pitch deck to supercharge fund-raising efforts
“Starting a new venture can be a daunting experience, even if you know the market or your product inside out. No company founder is an expert across all the disciplines that running a business involves. At times this can feel overwhelming, but rest assured, you are not alone and there is help out there!”
