Smith & Williamson helps entrepreneurs and growth businesses through alliance with Quickstart Global
Smith & Williamson, the accountancy and financial services group, has today announced an alliance with Quickstart Global, a service provider to entrepreneurial and growth businesses seeking access to international resources and markets. The alliance will support businesses seeking to establish themselves overseas using Quickstart Global’s In-House Anywhere™ solution. The service provides premises, infrastructure and staff in a growing number of global locations and enables clients to commence low risk, low cost operations in the location of their choice.
Neal Gandhi, CEO of Quickstart Global commented “Our clients are typically fast growing and successful organisations who are seeking to maximise their growth. By working with Smith & Williamson, who are strongly focused on entrepreneurial and growth businesses, we are partnering with one of the leading firms in the market. Together, we will make more businesses aware of the opportunities for increased efficiency and profitability that our model for international expansion can provide.”
The majority of Quickstart Global’s clients have set up their overseas operations to reduce the cost of research and development, to gain access to new markets or to improve the efficiency and cost of their back office operations.
Guy Rigby, Head of Entrepreneurs at Smith & Williamson said “We are living in a global village and businesses need to explore every avenue to improve performance and reduce costs. Our alliance with Quickstart Global, with their unique model, will raise awareness of the opportunities and help businesses increase their profitability, whilst minimising the risks associated with trading across borders. The In-House Anywhere model enables clients to manage their overseas activities alongside an expert local provider who will look after infrastructure and staffing. It’s a great opportunity.”
Quickstart Global and Smith & Williamson chose to work together because of strong similarities in the approach and attitude of their organisations. Both have a common commitment to innovation and both are thought leaders in developing knowledge and processes that help entrepreneurs succeed.
