The problem

Before you ask
Questions founders ask
about Income Tax Compliance.
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly — a senior adviser replies, fast.
Which stage of business does Bequip work with?
All three. Set Up — businesses establishing, restructuring or formalising. Step Up — businesses that have outgrown informal systems and founder-led decision-making. Scale Up — businesses preparing for expansion, capital, transactions or institutionalisation. Most clients arrive at a transition between stages; that is exactly the moment we are built for.
When does a business need a Fractional CFO?
Usually at Step Up — when revenue is growing faster than your visibility of it: numbers arrive late, cash flow isn’t clear, and the founder still drives every financial decision. A Fractional CFO brings senior financial leadership — planning, MIS, forecasting, management reviews — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
Does Bequip replace our CA / auditor?
No — and we don’t try to. Your CA keeps the books and the statutory work; your auditor stays independent. Bequip takes the layer above: governance, structuring, transitions, transactions, and CFO-level decision support. Most engagements run alongside a CA the client already likes. We brief them, not around them.
When should a business consider restructuring or transition advisory?
Before the pressure point, not after it — when the founder is still in every decision, when the next generation is entering, when a partnership has outgrown its deed, or when a raise or transaction is 12–24 months away. Structures are cheapest to change while nothing is forcing the change.
Can Bequip support one specific business transition?
Yes. Many engagements are a single defined transition — a corporatisation, a founder-to-management handover, a family succession, a fund-raise, an India entry. We agree the scope and the deliverable up front, and if it later grows into standing advisory, that is your call, not our assumption.
