Why run a bookkeeping business?
A lot of people dream about becoming self-employed and starting their own business. Many people would like to run a business that would let them work from home. Other people would like a business that increases their standard of living. Others may simply want a business that is cheap to start, easy to learn and involves no cold calling.
Bookcert is pleased to announce that if any of the above sounds like you then a home bookkeeping business would suit!
Bookkeeping is easy to learn & no prior bookkeeping experience is needed
Bookkeeping is a business that, if taught correctly, is easy to learn. No prior bookkeeping experience is needed, but you do need specialised training, which is comprehensively covered in the Bookcert Business Kit.
Every single business, small or large, needs a bookkeeper
Bookkeeping is a necessary task to running a business. Every business, small or large, needs a bookkeeper, as it's a legal requirement to keep a record of all income and expenses. Further, bookkeeping is a business that doesn’t require any stock, staff, premises or cold calling. It has low overheads, flexible working days and a high level of demand.
Bookkeeping is a recession-proof business
A home bookkeeping business is as close as it comes to a recession proof business. When the economy is strong, people will be starting new businesses and will therefore need a bookkeeper. When the economy is weak, businesses will need to watch and account for every penny, again resulting in demand for bookkeepers.
You do not need any professional qualifications to perform bookkeeping services
In our experience clients prefer to use a bookkeeper who provides an accurate service and gives them value for money. Bookcert teaches you how to do this without years of study or arduous exams. The difference between Bookcert and a college course is that we have geared the Bookcert Business Kit towards you starting your own business and making money, not towards passing an exam. You will learn how to open your own bookkeeping business with the skills and confidence necessary to ensure your business succeeds.
You can run your bookkeeping business from home & there’s no need for any expensive equipment
Bookkeeping is a business you can start from your living room, and we advise people to run their bookkeeping business from home, because this helps to keep start up costs to an absolute minimum. There is no need for any expensive equipment; if you own a basic computer your start up costs will be minimal.
You’re provided with Bookcert Pro our incredibly easy to use bookkeeping cashbook
Included in the Bookcert Business Kit is BookcertPro, our bookkeeping cashbook. BookcertPro has been designed for beginners and is incredibly easy to use. You will be able to use BookcertPro to do the bookkeeping for virtually all of your small business clients, eliminating the need to purchase expensive bookkeeping software packages.
The demand for good bookkeepers is at an all time high
The demand for good bookkeepers is at an all time high, with more and more people starting small businesses. Because demand is so high, if you take a proactive approach to marketing using our techniques, you should attract clients at a considerable rate.
A bookkeeping business can be run part time if you wish, & you can test the water by running your business in the evenings and weekends at first
There’s no need to give up your day job if you don’t want to. You can test the water by running your bookkeeping business part time in the evenings and weekends. Even if you don’t want to run the business full time, a bookkeeping business can provide a substantial part-time income.
Bookkeeping is a business which will allow you to fit work around your home life
The best thing about running your own home bookkeeping business is that you can fit work around your home life. You can choose the hours you work, so you never need to miss an important family occasion again.
A bookkeeping business is a valuable asset you can sell in the future
If you decide to sell your bookkeeping business in the future, it will command a healthy price. The going rate for a bookkeeping business is currently 100% to 120% multiple on turnover. For example, if your bookkeeping business has revenue of £50,000 per annum, your business may have a selling price of around £50,000 to £60,000.
Bookkeeping suits a wide variety of people
A bookkeeping business will suit a wide variety of people. It doesn’t matter if you’re a parent looking for a business which will let you spend more time with your children, a college student who needs a steady income whilst studying, or someone wanting to leave the rat race. Bookcert can help you achieve your goals. If you're employed in a finance role and would like to work for yourself as a bookkeeper, but are not sure how to set up a business and find your own clients, the Bookcert Business Kit can help you too.
Bookkeeping is a highly respected profession
By starting a bookkeeping business you will be entering a highly respected profession. The financial rewards can be great, but so can the personal rewards of working for yourself, helping others, and having more time for your family and friends.
We are confident that our strategies, combined with your hard work and determination, will lead to you running a successful home bookkeeping business.
