Bradford’s small businesses will be able to access free expert advice from professionals belonging to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales under a new scheme.
The new initiative comes as a new report reveals that many smaller manufacturers expect to see output fall over the next three months.
The ICAEW Business Advice Service aims to help small companies and start-ups with business and financial advice to help economic growth. Business owners can contact firms in their area on a range of issues without any future obligation to using the services of a particular accountant. More than 2,000 ICAEW practices have signed up to offer the initial free consultation under the scheme.
