Start-ups

Buckle up - it's going to be a crazy ride!

Creative start-ups are brilliant to work with. They're exciting and can be scary, but are always full on. With the right support from the beginning, the start-up journey is a special one, and these ambitious new businesses can go on to achieve amazing things.

Support and encouragement

Start-up life can be hard, so unlike your average accountant, we offer you our support and encouragement. You don’t need to feel like you’re doing it alone, we got your back.

We are a melting pot of business knowledge here at WardWilliams Creative, and many clients use us as a sounding board to make sure their plans are solid or to bounce ideas off us. We love this and welcome the collaboration.

We have a large network and if we can help you grow your business by putting you in touch with a specialist or finding partners we will hook you up with the relevant connections.

Cost aware

We know that especially in the early days' cash can be a bit tight, so we cut the fat and created a competitive package especially for start-ups.

Easy communication

We hate jargon and avoid it wherever possible. Even if you are a novice in business we will communicate in a way that’s down to earth and, well, normal.
