Birmingham Top Accountants: AMCI ASSOCIATES LTD (Accountants & Business Advisors) DIRECTOR – IHQLAK HUSSAIN has written a must read book for the Entrepreneurs

Ihqlak Hussain’s new book, SUCCEED!: An Inspirational Toolkit for the Serious Entrepreneur, dives into the author’s own personal experience, coming from a tough background, working hard and successfully achieving his goals. This book offers easy to understand and must-read advice for budding entrepreneurs designed to highlight how to plan, develop and execute a new business venture. With a step-by-step toolkit, real life case examples, inspirational stories and a realistic game plan for the launch of a new start-up, SUCCEED!, has become a must read for those ready to begin their entrepreneurial journey.

This book has been derived from a handout that Ihqlak produced, whilst at University College Birmingham, that addressed the challenge of simplifying business plans for non-business students. Having refined this handout over the years, Ihqlak developed it into a more sophisticated booklet that then became the basis of a well-received degree in Business Enterprise. The aim was to produce an easy-to-follow template of creating a workable business plan.

The foreword, written by Melvyn Pryer, discusses how when teaching, with Ihqlak, at University College Birmingham, they found that their students were full of ideas but needed guidance to refine and organise their thoughts into comprehensive business plans, with a specific focus on the financial aspects. In the face of the coronavirus and with many redundancies taking place, many entrepreneurial opportunities arise, and SUCCEED!, offers guidance to those eager to create and develop their own business, with advice in overcoming those challenges that exist amongst business start-ups.

With over 20 years of experience in start-ups, from client consultations at AMCI to university lecturing, Ihqlak is extremely qualified. He has advised entrepreneurs, around the world, as a Chartered Certified Accountant since 2003, with a 98% success rate. His guidance is straightforward and covers various sectors throughout the different stages of the economic climate. With the future of business being uncertain, this is the time for innovative entrepreneurs to follow their business dreams using Ihqlak’s book to help them begin their own ventures.

Marc Greene, the director and founder of Skirting World LTD, has said that SUCCEED! is ‘fundamental to the launch of any business venture’ and if you wish to thrive in business, like he has following Ihqlak’s advice, then you should read this book to learn the best from the best.

With more than 4.4 million new companies starting in 2020, a 26.9% increase from 2019, there has not been a greater need for this book than now. Available to pre-order on to your Kindle from Amazon, SUCCEED!, has been exclusively designed to show you how to achieve your goals in financial success. Whether you are: wanting to start a business but unsure how to do so; been affected by COVID-19 and want to find financial security for your family; or are a student with an exciting new business venture, this is the book for you.

‘With the increased number of new businesses over the last year, and the expectation for this number to continue to grow, I have designed a business guide, based on my own experiences, for new entrepreneurs to develop successful plans to help execute their new business enterprises.’ Ihqlak Hussain.

These are a few comments from our clients…….

Marc Greene (Director – Skirting World Ltd)

AMCI Associates Ltd has been advising us from the start of our entrepreneurial journey for nearly 10 years.  Without Ihqlak’s  (Director) sound advice on cash flow management, profitability and business development, we would not have become a multi-million pound business within a short period of time.  He is truly the father our business and we cannot thank him enough and his team for all the support given.

Clare Hitchens (Head to Toe Beauty) & Paul Upton (Director – A1 Top Job Ltd)

Clare – Without your help Ihqlak, I could not have got the business started.  You and your team are absolutely amazing!

Paul – Thank you for advising us over many years, your support has been immensely appreciated.

Katie Smith (Director – Stechford Trucks Ltd)

Highly recommend AMCI Associates Ltd.  They have helped us so much with so many aspects of our business including strategic development, taxes, cash flow and human resource planning.  I couldn’t do without them.

Saleem Sattar (Director – Professional Services & Catering Businesses)

I have been with AMCI Associates since I qualified as a Pharmacist many years ago and cannot rate their service highly enough.  Ihqlak (Director) is very knowledgeable, professional and thorough.  I have total peace of mind knowing he is dealing with all the nitty gritty details of my accounts.  That’s not all, AMCI Associates are very proactive in chasing me if I am late (sorry Ihqlak) and genuinely care to ensure I have my affairs in order to give the complete package of personal and professional service.  Thanks Ihqlak.

Jassy Rai (Entrepreneur & Property Investor)

I have been with AMCI Associates Ltd for over 10 years now and like previous reviewers have said, the service is first class.  Ihqlak is very experienced in his field and equally as knowledgeable and is backed up by a very effective team.  Nothing is too much trouble including, raising of finance at very competitive rates!  I would not go anywhere else.  Keep up the good work!

David Walton (Director – SBD Services Ltd)

Ihqlak’s advice and help has been invaluable.  His understanding of international markets has greatly assisted me to develop my business despite the Brexit debacle.

Latest Advise from Birmingham Top Accountants, AMCI Associates on VAT and Brexit

With less than 30 days to go until the Brexit transition period ends, you need to act now!

Customs duty

Regardless of any free trade deal from 1st January 2021, there will be additional paperwork and border checks.  The UK will not require importers into the UK to produce post-Brexit customs declarations or pay any tariffs until 30th June 2021 after which  the imports and exports via the EU will be treated the same was as any other non-EU state such as China or Australia.  Due to border controls, expect delays.  The Border Operating Model is your manual for the EU trade. www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-border-operating-model

Impacts on Supply Chain

It is vitally important for importers and exporters to establish who is doing what in each country right now as all your future transaction chains will be affected.  Depending on what contracts you have with your customers in EU, goods are likely to take longer to reach final point of supply leading to extra admin and costs.

EORI numbers

Every business dealing with EU will require Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number from HMRC.  In some cases, it can take weeks to get this from HMRC.  Therefore, contact us soon so that we can assist you with obtaining this number.
