E&PP - Buisness and financial advice - Simon pope

Everyone met up at the museum of wales, and then went on to town to ask banks for advice about owning and starting a buisness .

As i an logan where both HSBC clients we thought that it would be better to go with our existing branch and discuss our plans of opening a Design studio in the cardiff area.

Upon arrivel we where able to see a buisness adviser almost right away and we discussed our plans. but did not have a buisness plan so that we could get in depth financial advice. the buisness adviser handed us advice about buisness software and opening up a buisness account with them but proved to be very costley in the beggining so we thought that it would be a lot better if we simply opened a joint account when we get started and when we take enough money annually we would then think about opening a buisness account.

The adviser emphasised how hard it will be opening up but they will support us in every way we can financially, which can have its downfalls with an over clouding dept . so we then discussed about getting buisness grants and they where very helpful.

we have now looked into several buisness grants for graduates, and they prove promissing. but in the long run we will definatley consider a buisness joint account.

Overall very supportive and informative. we did not consider another bank as i have been a client for a long time with hsbc and they have proven to be top of their game with student help, and advice.This proved a valuable day and i gained a lot of information that will greatley be needed in the near future for my buisness propositions in years to come.
