Business Advisory

“I’m so pleased with our relationship with Champion – honestly, they are brilliant! Their advisors have added so much to our group of businesses and I really value their opinion and viewpoint. The whole team is extremely detail-orientated, unlike other advisors who may skim over things.

“They pick up on even the most minor of points, going on to explain how it could be relevant to X, Y and Z. The staff always go above and beyond – they recently worked on a Saturday helping me meet a deadline for our parent company! Another accountant may have left it because it was outside of normal practice hours, but my client manager worked in his own time to make sure that we met our deadline.

“Champion are a huge asset, especially as they understand the different stakeholders within our business that I need to answer to. It’s really comforting to know that I’ve an experienced and intelligent advisor as an ally, and even though we’re based in London, they’re always happy to come and explain things in detail face to face.”

“Having worked with the team at Champion for more than 30 years, I knew I could rely on them for assistance to source funding during the COVID-19 outbreak.

“As an MD, my whole focus needs to be on the running of the business, but the emergency funding schemes were causing me to spend time elsewhere. The rules were complicated with very excessive waiting times. It took my own bank four weeks to reply to my application, while other schemes – such as the Bounce Back Loans – just didn’t provide the capital we needed to survive. The process was bureaucratic and the longer I spent pursuing the claims alone, the less likely we were to sustain our company. I knew that Champion would support me and make everything much more efficient.

“Champion was able to advise on exactly what information the bank wanted to see for a successful application and identified how much we should apply for so we had a contingency, should the worst happen. They made sure we came across as the credible business we are, so lenders were more confident in working with us. Doing so led to a successful application which has meant our business has the confidence and working capital that it needs to survive.

“Not only that, but Champion’s helping hand meant I had the time and resource I needed to focus on the business, at a time it needed me most. And that is something you can’t put a price on.”

“When we first decided to start our own business, fortunately Champion was recommended to us. Champion has helped us from our earliest days of trading as a partnership, to incorporating as a limited company, right up to the present day, where we are now running two companies, with turnover totalling more than £1m per annum.

“During the last 10+ years Champion has provided us not only with audit and accounting services, but also with assistance with investment and funding decisions regarding asset purchase involving both plant and property acquisitions.

“The team at Champion have a very approachable manner with a broad business knowledge, and because of this we find that we can refer to them for answers to all the many different issues we come across in the day to day running of our business.

“We would gladly recommend Champion for all accountancy and business services.”

“Having worked with Champion Accountants for over 20 years, we can confidently say they’ve been instrumental in our success.
 
When we first explored selling the business, we were struggling to find a suitable buyer and hadn’t considered the possibility of a management buyout – until Champion stepped in. They introduced the buyout idea and made the entire process seamless. Their experience reassured us at every stage, and Gill was fantastic at explaining complex financial details in a clear and practical way.
 
With their deep understanding of Unibox, they handled everything – from working with solicitors, to managing Companies House submissions and securing HMRC clearance, allowing us to focus on running the business. This being our third buyout with Champion (after previous transactions in 2014 and 2022), their expertise once again proved invaluable.
 
Ged’s business advice has guided us through major transitions with confidence. Champion’s professionalism, attention to detail, and unwavering support make them an exceptional partner.
 
We would 100% recommend them to all our clients.”

“I initially came across Champion Accountants through Gill Molloy, who is both a personal friend and a business connection. I chose them because of their expertise and professionalism, and I am so glad I did.
 
As a business owner, I knew everything about running the company, but had limited knowledge of the intricacies involved in selling a business. Champion Accountants, being experts in the field, took the time to explain everything clearly. They ensured I understood not only the business side of the transaction but also the personal emotions and challenges that come with selling a company. Their support made me feel both heard and understood throughout every stage.
 
The team at Champion Accountants was incredibly clear and timely in their advice. They were transparent every step of the way, always ensuring I was in the loop and understood what was happening. They were especially helpful when it came to managing the negotiations with the other party involved. Their proactive involvement gave me confidence that the sale was being managed with the utmost care and professionalism.
 
What impressed me most was their clarity and precision in communication. They kept me updated consistently, ensuring I knew exactly what to expect and how to prepare for each phase of the sale. Their attention to detail and thorough explanations made what could have been a complex process straightforward and manageable.
 
Looking back, I wouldn’t have done anything differently. Champion Accountants provided exceptional guidance, helping me navigate potential pitfalls and make informed decisions. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for expert advice and support in selling a business.”
