The Orenda Collective
The Orenda Collective provides a holistic approach to the financial aspects of your business. We work with current or aspiring business owners in the creative and wellness industry to strategise for growth, achieve financial goals and form valuable business connections.
We were shocked to learn that;
- Only 1 in 3 UK entrepreneurs is female despite making up 51% of the population
- Less than 1% of all UK venture funding is awarded to all female UK teams
- Only 39% of women state they are confident in their capabilities to start a business compared with 55% of men
Our mission is to play a part in closing the gap, by championing female owned businesses and encouraging a collaborative network of all genders to learn and grow together.
How will we do that?
We use our 20 years experience as Chartered Accountants to:
- Understand your business and its challenges
- Learn about your current financial position and future aspirations
- Educate you on the best structure from a tax and legal perspective
- Provide the specific accounting and tax services required for your business
- And most importantly to be the support network you need to feel confident in your business
