Accountancy and financial services group Smith & Williamson has launched a new platform aimed at entrepreneurs and plans to significantly increase its share of the entrepreneurial and growth business market.

The new platform includes a registration facility, a new resource centre, an expanding “toolkit for entrepreneurs”, an events portal and links to other useful websites. There is also access to a complimentary “road test” style business improvement service.

Jeremy Boadle, managing director of tax and business services, said: “Our new platform will be helpful to growth businesses where, for many, the issue at the top of today’s agenda is the credit crunch and the downturn in the economy.”
