Business Start-ups

RSM Farrell Grant Sparks is the adviser of choice for entrepreneurs who are starting new businesses or want support as their companies expand. Since the firm’s foundation, we have become a market leader in advising start-up ventures and helping them to grow their businesses.  Many of our entrepreneurial clients have gone on to become leading business figures in Ireland and abroad.

New business issues

At RSM Farrell Grant Sparks, our expert advisers are fully aware of the numerous legal, finance, taxation and general issues that arise in the early stages of a business – whether in Ireland or elsewhere in the world.

No two business start-ups are alike. We believe that careful tax planning is required at the outset of any new venture and that it is essential to link tax planning to the specific financial objectives of the business owners.

New businesses need to be correctly structured.  Our tax consultants  have the knowledge and experience to assist start-ups and SMEs in setting up:

• Suitable trading structures
• Tax efficient methods of financing a business
• Appropriate shareholding structures
• Key employee incentive schemes and programmes

The team at RSM Farrell Grant Sparks will focus not only on the tax issues, but on providing strategic guidance across key areas of operations, from reviewing the business goals and plans to advising on resourcing, finance and important operational functions. We also highlight issues which owners are sometimes unaware of or have not placed sufficient attention to, such as selecting appropriate structures taking the nature of the business into account .

RSM Farrell Grant Sparks partners and staff are also experienced in assisting and advising Business Expansion Scheme and Seed Capital type companies.
