The Sheffield-based accountants had planned to deliver a two-part virtual bootcamp as part of last week’s festival. Unfortunately they were unable to go ahead with the event, and instead have recorded the presentations they prepared and compiled them into one detailed yet concise video, perfect for watching during your lunch hour.

The video guides you through the lifespan of a tech business, from the early stages, through to growth and maturity, and up to the stage of preparing to sell the business.

Throughout the journey, you are given practical advice and suggestions about how you can use and manage your finances to support growth and business success. You’ll hear from experts within different teams at Shorts, including Corporate FInance, the Business Taxes Team, and their Radius R&D Tax Relief specialists.
