“The thought of setting up a company to own and run a successful Child Care Centre was a little scary at first. James from Argent Accounting helped to ensure this process was easy by initially helping with our business structure and made sure we understood the different options available to best suit our needs. He assisted us with our initial business plan which provided us with a clear idea of what to expect and prioritise. As our business has grew, we were offered an opportunity to sell. Argent Accounting provided us with critical advice and ensured we were able to get the best possible tax outcomes from the sale”
