Finance guidance for UK startups and new business owners

Make informed financial decisions.
Even before you can afford an accountant or finance team.

Finance Fixers is an app in development for UK startup founders and new business owners managing their own business finances. It will offer practical, plain-English guidance through the financial and administrative steps ahead—from setup and registration to bookkeeping, tax and cash flow.

Understand / Decide / Move forward

Your business. Your decision.

Plain English.

Practical frameworks.

Your decisions stay yours.

Why Finance Fixers exists

Good guidance should not be out of reach.

Professional support is valuable, but early-stage and struggling businesses cannot always afford it. Finance Fixers is being designed to help founders navigate that gap without pretending an app can replace a bookkeeper, accountant or adviser.

01

Understand

Make sense of the issue in front of you using clear explanations rather than finance jargon.

02

Consider

Work through the questions, options and trade-offs that matter to your particular business.

03

Decide

Reach your own informed next step, with a framework you can use while you are doing it yourself.

Who it is for

Founders building without a safety net.

Starting out

UK startups and new business owners

You need to make sensible choices about your business finances, but professional advice is not yet in the budget.

Under pressure

Struggling startups

You need structure and priorities while every pound matters and paying for ongoing finance support is not realistic.

Doing it yourself

Founders bridging the gap

You are managing the work for now and want a framework that helps you avoid guesswork until you can bring in a professional.

How the app will help

Guidance that helps you do the thinking.

Finance Fixers will guide the process. It will not take over the work, make decisions for you or present itself as a substitute for regulated or professional advice.

  1. 01

    Start with the real problem

    Structured prompts help you define what is happening before jumping to a solution.

  2. 02

    Build the relevant picture

    Plain-English guidance helps you identify the information and context the decision needs.

  3. 03

    Explore the implications

    Consider practical options, risks and trade-offs in the context of your business.

  4. 04

    Choose and act

    Use the framework to choose your next step and understand when professional help is needed.

An important boundary

Guidance, not professional advice.

Finance Fixers is intended to provide general information, decision frameworks and practical guidance. It will not provide accounting, bookkeeping, tax, legal, investment or regulated financial advice. It will not do the work for you, file returns, maintain your records or make decisions on your behalf.

You remain responsible for your business decisions and should seek suitably qualified professional advice where your circumstances require it.

A bridge, not a replacement

DIY for now. Human support when you are ready.

The aim is to help you build better habits, ask better questions and make more informed choices while budgets are tight.

When your business is ready, Finance Fixers can help you recognise the point at which working with Bond & Hope, Hawkhurst Accounting or another suitable professional becomes the right next move.

Help shape the first Finance Fixers offering

We’re developing Finance Fixers for people starting a business who don’t know what financial and administrative steps they need to take—and who may not yet have the budget for professional support.

We want to make sure we launch with something founders genuinely need and will use. This questionnaire is for market research. There are no right or wrong answers, and you do not need to understand accounting terminology.
