Rhys Jones of Davidson Gray sold out of his previous recruitment businesses in 2012 to focus solely on helping recruiters set up and build recruitment businesses. Follow Rhys on LinkedIn or contact him direct here for help with your start-up recruitment business or for coaching to grow an existing one.
Having someone who has ‘been there, done that’ to help can be absolutely invaluable, not just with the initial business set up but also for the ongoing challenges that the business will throw at you. However, finding someone you can trust who has the experience isn’t easy, so to help those who don’t have this luxury of having someone to work with as a coach or mentor, he’s put a checklist together on his blog.
The list includes advice on:
- Will it be a sole trader business, partnership, LLP or Limited company?
- Choose a name and form your business
- Shareholders agreement
- How are you going to run your accounts?
- Are you going to charge VAT?
- IT support
- Business Insurances
- Get a Recruitment Specific Database / CRM System
- Website
- Branding
- Terms of business
- Job boards
- Get a Mentor or Non Exec
