Over the last 25 years we have gained a wealth of experience which we are pleased to be able to offer you in your new enterprise.

Our 10 partner firm boasts strengths not just in the usual core business you would associate with firms of accountants, but also consultancy skills tailored to the day to day needs of the SME sector and in particular fast growing new businesses.

Getting the structure of the company right at the very outset in terms of financing, decision making and shareholder relations is always key but so often in the initial whirlwind of those early months they can be missed, with serious long term consequences.

We work with our clients to try and make sure that does not happen and use our team to help take some of the workload away and let you concentrate on what really matters

We are here to help so please don't hesitate top contact us: Ian Nunn or Steve Cook

Trusted Maxim Corporate Finance LLP is a specialist corporate finance firm advising and supporting dynamic SME’s with growth ambitions and enhanced corporate profile. Based in the City and with a strong presence in Thames Valley, the firm prides itself on its close working relationship with its clients and its commitment to building a long term service based on trust, expertise and teamwork.

Our unique service in Thames Valley is to sponsor application from suitable SME’s for listing on the PLUS Market, a fast growing and exciting new Stock Exchange in London. The PLUS Market is now the home for ambitious SME’s; it has a flexible regulatory framework compared to London’s main Market and AIM, hence its popularity and over 50 listings in 2007. As the AIM market has become more expensive and harder to enter, a distinct gap now exists for the PLUS Market to attract smaller ambitious companies.

Maxim partners include corporate finance accountants, commercial lawyers and management consultants. They create innovative strategies for clients to exploit business opportunities and design practical solutions for growing companies. They offer clients a multi-disciplinary service and support them with full project management from start to finish, thus reducing the burden of time and pressure on clients. They help ambitious companies to go through the necessary preparation to become ready for investment and listing on the PLUS Market.

In todays marketplace, opportunities remain open for a relatively short time and must be harnessed quickly. Whether you wish to consider listing on PLUS Market, or are looking for funding, due diligence, acquisitions and exit planning, our industry knowledge, experience and network will ensure that you can achieve results quickly.

At Cafécreate we do all sorts of things. We think up clever ideas, we produce beautiful, compelling work, we lay awake at night wondering how to describe what we are. We could say we're an integrated full service agency with a strategic brain – but you'd be none the wiser. We could say we're a creative hothouse, but you could get the impression we cared more for our egos than we do for your brands.

The fact is, we do those things that help organisations gain and develop customers and help build powerful brands. And we do it by finding the most direct route to a customer's mind, working at problems until all that's left is a solution so elegant, so simple, that you might wonder if there was a problem in the first place.

We work across all sorts of disciplines from web to exhibitions, and we've become expert in making them work together. So we're great believers in making certain we're saying the right thing long before we say which media are best.

But in the end, if anything can define who we are – it's the work we do.

And we wouldn't have it any other way.

The University of Southampton is one of the leading entrepreneurial universities worldwide, with an impressive track record as a partner to business and the public sector for problem solving and as a source of invention and innovation.

Twelve successful companies have been spun out from Southampton since 2000, four of which have floated on London's Alternative Investment Market (AIM) with a combined market capitalisation value of approximately £180 million.

We are currently engaged with businesses in a huge range of collaborative research and consultancy. These contracts have been worth £35 million in the past year, and have been built on substantial, long-term relationships in many cases.

We also provide support to start-up high-tech, high-growth companies through our SETsquared Business Acceleration Programme which provides intensive business support, access to finance and experts and to other entrepreneurs and suppliers to really help businesses and entrepreneurs grow.

The University of Portsmouth has a proud tradition of helping businesses succeed. It established Purple Door in 2005 as a one-stop shop to make it easier for the business community to gain access to the facilities, knowledge and expertise of the University, its academic staff, students and alumni talent.

The University supports a broad base of business customers, from blue chip multi-nationals to high growth start-ups. All customers have one thing in common; an aspiration to grow. Our world-class facilities, labs and expertise are used to test, develop prototypes and build new solutions for business and we are increasing our work in this area as business confidence returns. Last year alone, Purple Door helped over 600 businesses and revenues from this type of work represents over ten percent of the University's £140m annual turnover.
