A brisk business in company formation

Article Abstract:

An average of 400 new companies are formed every working day in the United Kingdom. This has in turn led to the rapid growth of company registration agencies. Whether the new business uses an accountant or a lawyer as a professional advisor, the actual task of forming the company will usually fall to the registration agency. A 1986 survey of accountants and lawyers showed that the qualities most valued by customers of company registration services are: reliability and accuracy of information, speed of service, and confidentiality. The size, reputation, and prices charged by the registration company were relatively unimportant to the survey respondents.

A strategy for shareholder value

Article Abstract:

Recent changes in the stock market have altered how stockholders are investing in companies. Many institutional investors are holding onto stocks for only short periods; there is skepticism of industrialists about the efficiency of the stock market; and there have been increased merger and acquisition activities that are not friendly. Companies attempting to obtain and maintain a competitive advantage and increase cash flow need to adopt guidelines to increase stockholder value. Guidelines include: utilizing a stockholder value philosophy; changing planning and reporting systems; and developing directed financial public relations.
