Starting your business

Business planning

Developing a strong business plan is critical to the success of any startup business. EYtax Private Enterprise works with entrepreneurs to help build robust plans that include detailed strategy around all aspects of their organization: finance, sales and marketing, operations, supply chain, procurement and engineering. As part of our business planning process, we look to assess current processes, analyze data for trends and identify the areas of greatest opportunity.

Startup financing

You have a fantastic business plan – now you need the financial support to bring your plan to life. But what financing options are available to entrepreneurs? Are there government programs for startups in your sector? Can your concept attract strategic or angel investors?

EYtax Private Enterprise advisers can help you identify the financing plan that you need to fuel your growth. From helping you identify early-stage financing options to helping you connect with potential investors – we’ll work with you every step of the way to help turn your vision into reality.

R&D incentives

As an entrepreneur, you recognize the importance location has on business success. When it comes to research and development (R&D) initiatives, location can have a major impact on your costs due to the availability of R&D incentives and the impact of R&D costs on other tax benefits.

EYtax Private Enterprise business advisers in EYTAX firms can help you conduct a review of R&D incentives and tax implications so that you can better evaluate the after-tax cost of performing your R&D in one country, state or province over another. Advisers can also highlight other government grants and incentives that you can tap into. EYTAX Private Enterprise advisers will work with you to help determine the best location for your activities – so you can focus on the future.

Business strategy services

When it comes to doing business, status quo will not work for long. There’s little doubt you’ll face ongoing threats, whether from new technologies, competition, or industry changes. As an owner-manager, you need to think about the future today so you can build a sustainable model for your business.

EYtax Private Enterprise advisers can work with you to review your business model and help identify strategic initiatives that will support your objectives. We do this through facilitated sessions focused on helping you develop the right strategy for your business – and by helping you execute, monitor and make ongoing adjustments to your strategy.

Corporate tax

Having an effective corporate tax program means keeping on top of trends and key issues. When tax changes or rulings are announced, timely analysis can help you understand how your business will be affected so you have time to adjust your tax processes accordingly.

EYtax Private Enterprise advisers in EYtax firms work with entrepreneurial businesses like yours to develop comprehensive plans that can manage or reduce your corporate tax burden. From assessing the effectiveness of your business structures to helping you identify tax savings opportunities, EYTAX firms can work with you to develop a customized tax program that works for your business.

Expanding internationally

When it comes to growth, you’re thinking beyond your borders. International expansion presents many opportunities, from expanding your market base to lowering your costs. It also presents unique risks – different regulatory rules and requirements, tax implications, and culture or language barriers.

EYtax Private Enterprise advisers span 156 different countries, providing you with access to the resources and information you need to be confident in your expansion strategy. We’ll leverage our global expertise through local experts to help you understand your risks and how you can mitigate them so you can take your business anywhere you might want to grow.

Assurance

The need for effective risk management and controls is crucial in an environment of increased scrutiny. It is important to minimize these risks in an entrepreneurial business, not only for the business itself, but also for the family, property holdings and capital. Implementing controls, securing new financing, efficient tax management and optimization can all have a positive impact on the bottom line of your business.

Personal tax

As the owner-manager of a business or a new entrepreneur, corporate tax shouldn’t be your only concern. To manage your overall tax burden effectively, you need to understand how tax rules and changes may affect both your personal tax situation and that of your family.

The challenge is that personal tax law is complex and rules can change quickly. EYtax Private Enterprise advisers can work with you to assess the tax rules and tax issues that affect, or may affect, your personal and family taxes, so that you can better manage your overall tax burden while remaining compliant with all tax laws.

Going public

Taking your company public is an exciting process. It brings with it prestige and higher visibility in the market. At the same time, going public brings new risks, including complex accounting and reporting requirements and the need to manage new stakeholders – like the board and your shareholders.

To get the most reward, you need to be well informed and well prepared. EYtax Private Enterprise advisers can work with you to decide whether going public is the right choice for your business. If you go forward, we can help you manage the IPO process and begin to operate in the public company environment.

• Growing your business

Growth

Growth is an essential ingredient to continued business success. While most businesses can achieve growth organically, this can require considerable time and effort. In order to grow sustainably, entrepreneurial businesses must consider all of their market opportunities including seeking out complementary businesses for acquisition, potentially divesting non-core businesses, outsourcing functions to increase cost efficiencies and potentially expanding into the emerging markets.

Financing and M&A

Mergers and acquisitions can be a great way to grow or diversify, but navigating the options can be challenging, especially for entrepreneurial businesses. How can you be confident that the deal you’re making will achieve your desired outcomes?

EYtax Private Enterprise advisers can help you get the most value out of a deal by providing unbiased advice across all stages of the transaction – from strategy development and target identification to implementation. Our firms can also work with you to evaluate financing options and structure debt solutions that may give you the financial flexibility you need to deliver on your growth plans.

M&A tax

IT

An effective, well-managed information technology (IT) system is one of the most valuable business advantages an organization can secure. The right technology, implemented properly, appropriately managed and monitored, can lead to significant gains in growth and efficiency. It is essential to get sound business advice to ensure technology risks are managed. IT is challenging to get right and expensive to get wrong — not only in terms of dollars spent, but also in lost efficiency and potential regulatory infringements. EYTAX firms work with clients to analyze business technology issues within their businesses.

Digital transformation

COVID-19 has been a catalyst for digital transformation. The pandemic has forced organisations to rethink their operating models and ways of working. To find answers to the immediate problems they’ve faced, they’ve turned to digital solutions. Businesses now also need to focus on how technology can enable growth.

• We can help you harness technology to build a connected enterprise. That's an enterprise where your front, middle and back offices are aligned.

What makes a connected enterprise?

• Insight-driven strategies and actions
• Innovative products and solutions
• Experience-centricity by design
• Seamless interaction and commerce
• Responsive operations and supply chain

• Integrated partner and alliance system

Organisations that invest purposefully in these capabilities are twice as likely to meet customer expectations, achieve their objectives and deliver return on investment.

Functional transformation

It’s time to empower your business

Growing competition means that modern businesses must continuously find ways to improve performance. New ways of working have made it imperative to rethink how your workforce interacts and collaborates.

Data and analytics

Unlock insights with data to drive growth, reduce cost and stay ahead of your competition.

Most organisations understand the importance of data to their performance, but it is often dispersed across different systems, geographic regions and processes. The problem of finding the right data across a large organisation can be daunting. Converting your data into an asset to extract value from is an enterprise-wide job.
In order to be successful, your data and analytics team should:

• Manage data from the point it is created through to where it is commercialised

• Lead cultural change across the enterprise so leaders and managers are not just “data aware”, but “data driven”

• Focus on data value – from identification to realisation

We combine our industry knowledge with our data and analytics expertise to harness the power of data. We work with the largest global organisations to tackle critical issues using data. This includes competing for revenues in challenging markets, addressing cost pressures and managing risk.

Automation

The way we work is changing, and so is the technology we use. Intelligent automation has sparked a revolution in how humans and machines interact. We’re surrounded by examples of automation executing everyday tasks. These are powered by advanced, intelligent machines and underpinned by artificial intelligence.

Automation brings together disruptive technologies to enable digital transformation, improve processes and lower costs. Businesses everywhere are using these technologies to transform every organisational function, from finance and HR to supply chain and regulatory compliance.

But there can be challenges in understanding how to make the best use of this technology. Integrating new technology into your organisation requires a holistic approach.

Our Automation capability brings together the skills to design and deliver solutions to meet your business needs. From low code, data driven and bespoke coding to larger and more complex business applications, we support your digital transformation.

Companies are now looking to improve the visibility, efficiency, transparency and security of their supply chains. They’re looking to build a value chain that is collaborative, agile, ethical and able to adapt to disruption and change.

Operations has moved beyond the role of a cost-effective business enabler; it is now the source of competitive advantage, growth and an instrumental part of the board’s decision making and insight. The role of the procurement and supply chain functions have evolved and the people, tools and decision making involved has transformed from monthly planning cycles to in-day decision making.

It’s not a one size fits all - nobody’s growth plan, procurement function, or supply chain is the same. The insight you need will always need to be tailored for you.

We work with you to provide fact-based, actionable insights. We help you strengthen the connections between the front, middle and back offices of your business. From sustainable sourcing to supplier collaborations, our sector experts will identify issues and pressures with the highest improvement potential.

This deep insight means we can share what's coming over the hill, from threats and disruptions to opportunities and innovations. We offer insights that enable you to build and execute an operations strategy best

Business Growth Strategy

Growing the business is a top agenda item for any CEO. Companies are targeting aggressive business growth strategies in response to structural shifts caused by new technologies, changing regulations, evolving customer needs and sector convergence. However, realising growth is extremely challenging. Many organisations are unable to achieve or sustain their growth ambitions.
There are several reasons why you may not be achieving your growth potential:

• Unrealistic objectives driving an undeliverable strategy
• A failure to consider capabilities and bandwidth to deliver
• Leadership team misalignment
• Lack of stakeholder support
• Inability to innovate in response to changing markets and customers

Our Global Strategy Group can help you approach step-change growth and performance issues with support in the following areas:

• How to access areas of new revenue and profit?
• How to profitably enter new markets and segments?
• How to harness, develop and commercialise innovative products and services?
• How to attract new customers and retain and enhance loyalty?

How we can help

We can help you identify and implement a prioritised set of growth platforms to let you achieve your growth ambitions. It is underpinned by our proprietary 9 Levers of Value.

These include key elements of your financial, business and operating models. Our distinctive method is designed to bring benefits for you by:

• Connecting related opportunities, driving internal collaboration and efficiency

• Building up insight and enabling scaled investment over time, as one opportunity leads to another

• Providing multiple routes to achieve targets and mitigating the risk of setbacks with diversified portfolios of opportunities – if one idea falters, the platform remains strong

• Providing a realistic plan, accounting for the required talent and skillsets, time horizons and appetite for risk

• Enabling sustained growth by engraining growth as a capability in your business DNA

• Setting up management of new growth opportunities as a portfolio of investments with specific metrics to maintain momentum and progress

Reshaping cost

Today, business leaders have to continually re-evaluate their operational strategy, balancing short- term cost improvements with long-term change.

They are faced with ever-increasing customer expectations, rapid market and technological change, disruptions from new entrants, increasing levels of regulation and reputational risk, and growing shareholder scrutiny on performance.

The key question is: Are you optimised to deliver on your business strategy and maximise shareholder value?

There are several triggers for businesses to re-assess their operating models including:

• Significant changes in the market, competitive dynamics, and/or business strategy
• Performance and funding gaps
• Complex and inefficient operating model structures
• Technologically or regulatory driven change

Our Global Strategy Group (GSG) can support you in identifying, quantifying, prioritising and delivering the changes required to align your operating model to financial targets and strategic objectives.

How we can help

Underpinned by our 9 Levers of Value framework, we help deliver timely improvement in performance and visibility as well as control for long-term operating impact.

• We help you generate value by successfully aligning your operating model to your business strategy and financial targets. We can work with you on the following areas:

• Identifying the changes required to align the operating model to the business strategy and financial targets, including challenging strategic decisions that could dilute value.

• Developing and testing a range of alternative operating model options to identify the optimal solution for your business.

• Balancing opportunity and risk, and quantifying and prioritising efficiency opportunities, to drive cost reduction.

• Streamlining and aligning processes, organisational structures, management information, decision rights and incentives.

• Designing and sequencing a change program to successfully deliver the required changes.

Enterprise-wide transformation

Helping you redefine your portfolio, business and operating model.
Organisations must be willing to transform or risk irrelevance. Transformation is not just about incremental change. It requires fundamental shifts in an organisation’s value proposition; how it competes and operates.

Enterprise-wide transformation can be driven by several factors:

• Disruptive external forces impacting both business and operating models

• Unrealised synergies or significant inefficiencies within and between business units in the portfolio

• Misalignment between stakeholder interests

• Absence of a clear financial ambition

All areas of a business should be working together to achieve the same objective. However, transformation is rarely straightforward. As a result, it can encounter significant organisational resistance
How we can help

Our Global Strategy Group (GSG) helps you determine whether your organisation needs transformation and to what extent. The answer may be to innovate, refresh or accelerate along the company’s existing trajectory. However, it may require a step change or pivot in direction, which is where enterprise-wide transformation comes in.

We bring strategic thinking and hands-on skills to deliver on transformation. We are distinctive in our ability to enact, rather than merely design or plan for enterprise-wide change. We help you address the following questions throughout the enterprise-wide transformation process:

• How to refresh or shift your strategy given recent changes in market dynamics?

• How to improve internal/external perception of your business and alignment between the ambition, business and operating models?

• How to manage the portfolio and improve the role of the corporate centre?

• What are the intended and unintended consequences of decisions in each unit or in one part of your business or operating model?

• How strong is your readiness to execute transformation and what likely challenges await on that journey?


What makes our approach different?

We provide the overarching framework for multi-year strategic planning, capital allocation, portfolio and synergy assessments. We help you with scenario planning, corporate centre redesign and other enterprise-wide services.

Our approach to enterprise-wide transformation aligns your organisation internally – mapping the journey from where you are today, to where you need to be and how you can get there.

Enterprise-wide transformation for SME

Business leaders are under more pressure to innovate and transform their businesses than ever before. Incremental results are no longer enough. Breaking down silos, aligning leaderships, engaging workforces and accelerating change are key to making transformation work. We address the three challenges of enabling growth, increasing profit and boosting value through designing and delivering successful enterprise-wide transformation.

The business challenges you face are accelerating the need for change. Ensuring you maintain connection between your strategy, business model, operating model and transformation initiatives to drive your ambition is critical.

Starting with your ambition

At EYtax we specialise in business model-driven operating model design and implementation. We take business strategies and design the structural changes that will make the strategy work, delivering the practical roadmap to make it happen.

We operate across all business functions to create transformations that fundamentally shift your business and its performance. We build agile businesses that have the flexibility needed for today’s ever-changing world.

We work with ambitious leaders to transform their businesses and improve performance by answering one of three key questions:
• Growth: What is the most effective way for me to grow the business?

• Profit: How can I maximise profits and profitability in my business in sustainable ways?

• Value: How can I drive short, medium and long-term increases in enterprise value by transforming the business?
Your business needs to integrate your strategy and operations together and create practical and implementable solutions. This will shape your future business and enable you to take your people with you as you make your strategy real.

We specialise in this and for everything that we do, your vision and strategy is our starting point.


Meeting your challenges

We help you face the ongoing challenge of agile transformation to enable your business to realise its potential. This might mean changing your business model and adapting your operating model to be more agile to meet new opportunities, or counter issues in competition, markets and channels. Instances such as:

• Macro-economic trade and business changes

• Change in leadership

• New ways of driving revenue growth or new value propositions

• Shifts in customer behaviours and needs

• New channels and leveraging platform capabilities

• Changes in strategic partners and third parties

• Agility and delivering structural workforce changes

• Changes to the value stream and the use of data to drive agile decision-making

Post Deal Transformation choices.

With disruption and change in traditional sources of value, CEOs are recognising why transformative changes matter.

They must be made quickly, and they must be executed strategically. Many also understand that the type of change they require to compete in today's rapidly evolving landscape can't be achieved through organic growth strategies alone.

Thus, executives need to look outside the organisation for new sources of inspiration to achieve transformation. CEOs see organic growth strategies as the fastest way to transform their business and operating model.

However, despite the appetite for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and transformation, many are struggling to convert the desire for transformative deals into tangible results. Frustration levels are rising as post-deal transformation remains a challenge.

We believe that businesses can do more to ensure their deals enable the desired transformation. They can also shape deal ex*****on to find synergy and maximise value creation.

How we can help you achieve desired transformation

We can help you create value by challenging conventional thinking, bringing real industry insights and ‘investor-grade’ rigour, along with on-ground support. Our approach is underpinned by our 9 Levers of Value framework.

Many deals are focused on achieving scale. In those situations, 'value' is measurable from a short-term perspective in terms of synergies achieved and market share gains. But while making deals for strategic transformation purposes, 'value' is typically perceived for the long term; it is much more difficult to define and measure.

Our approach focuses on key deal questions such as:

• How will the target enable new, sustainable growth?

• How valuable and overlapping is the customer base? Are sales channels profitable?

• In what direction could this deal take you?

• Are the targets, capabilities and infrastructure well understood?

• Which OPEX and CAPEX synergies are achievable and by when?

• How significant are integration challenges/costs likely to be?

Finance transformation

Finance Transformation fifficiency, insight and value.

In a rapidly changing marketplace, the finance function has a key role to play in delivering efficiency, insight and value to the business.

The introduction of new technologies, increased volumes of data, regulatory changes and the need to deliver more for less adds to the pressure on CFOs and Finance Directors.

Finance functions must move focus from transaction processing and reporting towards strategic business support.

Many organisations have already taken significant steps to improve their back office and have demonstrated that an agile operating model with automation, digital enablement and improved data and analytics is key to becoming a strategic partner for the business.

So, what is at the top of the CFO agenda?

• How can we increase focus on value creation?

• What key business questions are we struggling to answer at pace?

• How are we using digital solutions, data and analytics to enable profitable growth?

• How does our data strategy enable the needs of the business, our customers and our teams?

• What operating model changes do I need to make to enable me to quickly adapt to changing requirements?

• What skills and competencies do I need, and how do I best access them?

Eytax takes a tailored approach to supporting your finance transformation. Using the right tools and accelerators, our integrated processes and technologies can help you to quickly focus on cost reduction, improving performance and transparency, accelerating finance integrations or separations, and enhancing risk management and governance.
