Entrepreneurs and Private Businesses
Running a business whilst planning for the future is challenging enough. You need an advisor who is invested in you.
Let us navigate shifting regulation and complex financial requirements whilst you focus on scaling your business, your way.
Working with growing companies across their business lifecycle is what we do best. We understand that your needs can evolve quickly as you move from growth stage, through maturity, on to an exit event and beyond.
As an entrepreneur, you wake up to face new challenges on a daily basis – our role is to provide tailored expertise, drawing on our experience, as your trusted advisor throughout your journey. Our support doesn’t end with your business needs; we can also manage the changing requirements of your personal wealth.
Put simply; we care about your success.
Why HaysMac?
We help you to avoid pitfalls and exploit opportunities, ultimately improving your commercial success.
As specialists in your field, we have a wealth of experience which means we offer a tailored, pragmatic approach designed to support you at all stages of growth, both business and personal. It’s our job to make complexity digestible with clear advice; you won’t need to trawl through the technical weeds of compliance. We’ll present the options and implications, then recommend sensible, workable solutions.
We know the entrepreneur community and ecosystem well having worked in this space for decades. We love connecting people in our network and watching relationships grow. We work with several trusted partners who also place founders at the heart of their activity and regularly host events designed to share relevant insights and ideas.


Advice that spans wider than your business needs
Clients want to pick up the phone and speak to someone they trust. Someone who’s got their back in every aspect of their finances. We care about your business, but also what’s going on for you and your family – in terms of assets, inheritance and longer-term planning. When it comes to wider support, we build relationships with a range of lawyers, banks, corporate financiers, investors, and financial advisers, providing a lynchpin for joined-up decision making.
