Guiding Your Business from Startup to Success
Launching a business is exciting, but it takes more than a good idea to succeed. Elite Financial Consulting partners with entrepreneurs across Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, and the greater Comal County region to bring their business visions to life. Whether you're in the early stages of planning or already generating revenue, we provide the structure, planning, and strategic guidance needed to build a strong foundation and soar higher. As business owners ourselves, we're passionate about helping fellow entrepreneurs reach big milestones.
Startup Assistance Services
Business Formation & Registration
We help you choose the right business entity—LLC, S-Corp, or sole proprietorship—based on tax and liability goals. Our team walks you through applying for an EIN, registering with the state, and meeting Canyon Lake-specific licensing requirements.
Business Plan & Financial Projections
Need help writing your first business plan? We guide you through crafting realistic projections, revenue goals, and break-even benchmarks. This is essential for securing loans and tracking performance.
Initial Bookkeeping Setup
We’ll help you get started with QuickBooks or similar accounting software, setting up your chart of accounts to reflect your business model and preparing your books for long-term success.
Budget & Cash Flow Planning
Cash flow can make or break a new venture. We design startup budgets and forecast expenses so you can manage limited resources wisely in those early months.
Compliance Overview
Avoid costly surprises by understanding your tax deadlines, registration renewals, payroll requirements, and sales tax obligations from day one.
Ongoing Business Support
Strategic Planning & Growth Support
Your business goals will evolve—and so should your strategy. We work with owners to evaluate costs, optimize pricing, and weigh key decisions like expansion, staffing, and new services.
Financial Health Check-ups
Our check-ins include reviewing profits, margins, and cash flow compared to industry norms. We help you pinpoint inefficiencies and growth opportunities.
Funding & Investment Guidance
We offer insight on business loan options and help prepare financial documentation for banks or SBA lenders. For veterans, we can discuss programs designed to boost veteran-owned startups.
Exit or Succession Planning
Whether you're preparing to sell or pass your business on, we help design a smooth transition plan aligned with your long-term goals.
Specialized Support for Veteran Entrepreneurs
Elite Financial Consulting is proud to support veteran-owned businesses. Our team understands the unique challenges veterans face and helps them tap into state and federal resources, such as VA programs and Texas veteran small business grants. We offer help preparing documents for veteran certifications and navigating local opportunities designed specifically for service members.
What are the first steps to start a business?
Define your offering, choose a structure, register your entity, and get your finances organized. We can help with all of these.
What’s the right business structure for me?
LLCs offer liability protection; S-Corps may reduce taxes at certain income levels. We review your goals and recommend what fits best.
Do you help with loans or grants?
Yes. We guide you through financial projection creation and loan readiness, and we’re familiar with options for new and veteran-owned businesses.
What if I’m not good with numbers?
You don’t have to be. We break down reports into simple terms and manage the technical pieces, so you can stay focused on running the business.
Do you only work with new businesses?
Not at all. We consult with businesses in every stage—from idea to established operation.
