When you are in business, there is no end to the number of ways you can be advised and the number of professionals who can advise you. If you are stuck somewhere in the length of your business journey to ultimate success, you do not need to look any further than some of your local financial businesses and institutions. The following examples are just a few of the many professionals that frequently offer "business advisory" services. 

Accountants

Accountants can advise you on how to approach various tax breaks and tax rules. This advice can and will guide you throughout the year so that when you file your taxes next year (or if you file taxes quarterly), you will not feel the burn or burden of excess taxes required after you have already been paying in all year. The accountants can also offer you some end-of-year tax advice that can still help you break even on your tax forms or reduce your taxes owed when you file in January or February of next year. 

Investment Brokers

Investments and investment brokers are often the key to making your company grow. You can take personal money, invest it, gain more money, and then invest the newly gained funds back into your own company. You can also invest in additional real estate locations to build more locations for your business, thus making it more accessible to consumers and creating more jobs for the public. Investment brokers can analyze your current situation, both personally and professionally, to see what the most sound ideas are in regards to investing and investments. They can also offer some advice on "going public" to become a publicly traded stock company if that interests you. 

Bankers and Financial Advisors

Bankers and financial advisors look at the overall monetary health of your business to determine if you can manage any more debt load. You may be seeking funds for expanding your business or making improvements to your current location. You may also be seeking advice as far as where to take your company next, and whether or not you have the financial wherewithal to take that step. 

Board Members

If your business has grown into a reasonably good-sized company, you may have a Board of Directors, or board members, that advise you monthly, weekly, or daily in regards to operations. They should not simply be "yes men/women," but rather a group of individuals that can provide useful advice and rebuttals to other points brought up by other board members. Choosing board members will be difficult since you want an equal balance of opinions and support in the board room.
