Testimonials

Paul Dimond, PJDesign (Mechanical) Ltd, www.pjdesignltd.co.uk
Anabela recently mentored me whilst setting up my Design Consultancy (PJDesign [Mechanical] Ltd.). She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and approachable. A huge help to someone new to the world of self employment. I would not think twice in recommending Anabela to anyone - indeed, I did just that, to my daughter Rachel. Rachel is now enjoying the association with Anabela to help her though the steps of setting up her own Photography business.

“Anabela helped both set up my company and provided a knowledgable insight and beackground information to help me on my way. She is extremely personable and easy to work with. Her attention to detail is very admirable. I would recommend Anabela to others in the blink of an eye. You will not be disappointed.” July 7, 2011



Cindy Horwood, Owner, Blue Topaz Marketing, www.bluetopazmarketing.co.uk 

“When I started my marketing business in 2009, Anabela was my mentor. She provided me with a clear focus on what I needed to do to ensure my business was a success. I found her approachable and always full of great ideas drawn from her vast experience of helping start up businesses across all sectors. Since then, I have been lucky enough to have Anabela as a client when I was asked to deliver a series of marketing workshops for new start up businesses. It was an experience I greatly enjoyed and I am grateful for the opportunity she gave me. Anyone considering starting a business (or indeed is already in business and needs that independent perspective on how to take the business forward), I would recommend Anabela and the team at Balancing Business!”June 27, 2011

 

Tony Moore, Director at am2, www.am2solutions.co.uk
“In March 2011 we founded our new business called am² solutions ltd. Support and advice from Anabela at Balancing Business, enabled through Business Link West Midlands was tremendously valuable to us with the provision of coaching, guidance and direction throughout the initial start-up period. 


Anabela was able to provide support during and immediately after redundancy and this early advice was key to us gaining the confidence to move forward with the idea of 'going it alone'. In the early stages of planning our business it was useful to have regular face-to-face meetings with Anabela, in order to develop the business plan and broaden our support network. 

Access to impartial business advice and support via phone and email has been of great benefit to us during the formation of am² solutions ltd. Using this advice has enabled us to have a greater understanding of our business operation and the wider support on offer to smaller companies such as ourselves. 

Today, am² solutions ltd is an innovative and agile engineering design consultancy, prototyping and manufacturing business with a focus on originating and delivering bespoke solutions, tailored to clients’ specific requirements.” June 20, 2011

 

Prof Roger Appleby, Expert in Passive Millimetre Wave Imaging at Roger Appleby MMW Consulting Ltd

“Anabela help me to setup my own business through her Balancing Business company.  I found it very valuable to discuss all the facets of setting up as a sole trader. It's not that it is impossible to work through all the information relating to income tax, vat, national insurance or the pros and cons of being a sole trader or a limited company but it is much better to take advice from somebody who really understands being in business and can give clear and concise  advice. From the outset Anabela was able to provide an in depth understanding of all the aspects. She has been a great help." January 17, 2011
