Specialist support
At BW Medical Accountants we have a highly successful track record in establishing new federations and companies, and draw upon best practice utilising a number of unique approaches (capital on the basis of a loan is one of those).
The combination of a process-led approach, combined with strong implementation, secures excellent outcomes and income for our client base. Furthermore, within our team we have expertise in initial company formation, developing business cases, negotiating contracts (we now have subcontracts being signed between FTs and the Federations we work with, which could be adapted for your local circumstances), writing bids and tenders, reducing expenses for member practices, increasing income and providing regular hands on management.
If required we are also more than happy to provide access to our current federation client base should anyone want to speak with them about our work.
In our delivery we draw upon our management capability to ensure a smooth implementation, by matching our skills to the needs of the provider company. Additionally we are highly flexible and quick to respond to your needs, and can work to incredibly tight timescales to meet your deadlines. In Newcastle for instance we held the workshop on 3rd and 10th September and launched the company to the Practices on the 18th! (References are available)
