Starting your business

KPMG Private Enterprise works with entrepreneurs to help build robust plans that include detailed strategy around all aspects of their organization: finance, sales and marketing, operations, supply chain, procurement and engineering. As part of our business planning process, we look to assess current processes, analyze data for trends and identify the areas of greatest opportunity.

KPMG Private Enterprise advisors can help you identify the financing plan that you need to fuel your growth. We can help you identify early-stage financing options, identify government programs for startups in your sector, and help you connect with potential strategic investors.

KPMG Private Enterprise advisors can help you conduct a review of research and development (R&D) incentives and tax implications so that you can better evaluate the after-tax cost of performing your R&D in one country, state or province over another. Our tax professionals can also highlight other government grants and incentives that you can tap into and will work with you to help determine the best location for your activities – so you can focus on the future.

The need for effective risk management and controls is crucial in an environment of increased scrutiny. It is important to minimize these risks in an entrepreneurial business, not only for the business itself, but also for the family, property holdings and capital. Implementing controls, securing new financing, efficient tax management and optimization can all have a positive impact on the bottom line of your business, and we can support you with those needs.

To manage your overall tax burden effectively, you need to understand how tax rules and changes may affect both your personal tax situation and that of your family. KPMG Private Enterprise advisors can work with you to assess the tax rules and tax issues that affect, or may affect, your personal and family taxes, so that you can better manage your overall tax burden while remaining compliant with all tax laws.

From assessing the effectiveness of your business to helping you identify tax saving opportunities; our tax professionals can work with you to develop a comprehensive tax program that can help manage or reduce your corporate tax burden.
