Mazuma is an accountancy practice serving the needs of small businesses and sole traders that has steadily grown into a national business since its formation in Cardiff in 2006. Now after nearly three years of trading from offices in Birchgrove, the Cardiff North branch of Mazuma is expanding by moving into a refurbished shop on Beulah Road, in the heart of popular suburb Rhiwbina, in Cardiff.

Sophie Hughes, Operations Director of Mazuma comments “We have been operating in Cardiff for three years now, and launched our franchise in October 2008.

Mazuma is an accountancy practice serving the needs of small businesses and sole traders that has steadily grown into a national business since its formation in Cardiff in 2006. The franchise, The Mazuma Associate Scheme, was launched in October 2008 and the fifth new Associate began operating in May 2009 in Basingstoke.

Peter Ferguson operates from Basingstoke and is delighted to be running a Mazuma franchise.

As part of our ongoing growth and commitment to giving our clients the best possible service, we are pleased to announce that we are now able to offer a Tax Investigation Service.

Every individual and business is at risk of being investigated by HM Revenue and Customs.

Mazuma are delighted to announce the launch of three new Associates offices across the UK.

Sarah Howell and Michilla Mason operate from East London and are delighted to be the first Mazuma franchise operating in the UK’s capital. Sarah comments: “Michilla and I had always wanted to run our own accountancy business. I spotted Mazuma in the monthly AAT magazine and I was very impressed by what Mazuma had achieved. I love the concept that Mazuma offers and when I saw the Associate opportunity I decided to grab it with both hands!

One of the adverse effects of running a successful business is that you handle vast quantities of paper both incoming and outgoing, and this paperwork needs to be kept for a minimum of six years. That is why Mazuma now provides a new service, Electronic Document Storage, to all.

Electronic Archiving is the process of scanning documents into an electronic format such as TIFF, JPG or PDF, and storing it in an Electronic Filing Cabinet or EDM system so that it can be accessed quickly and easily using index information or meta data captured from the document itself.

Leading franchising companies have predicted that the industry is set to boom in 2009 as more people consider becoming self employed.

With thousands of people throughout the UK being made redundant and more facing the prospect of losing their livelihoods, many of those fortunate enough to receive redundancy payments or have capital available for investment are expected to give very serious consideration to entering self employment by purchasing a franchise.
A recession is actually the ideal time to set up your own business - especially a franchising one.

Despite the doom and gloom during the backdrop of uncertain economic times, business is still booming for Mazuma. Offering simple and cost effective accountancy services to small businesses, many clients are engaging Mazuma to reduce their current accountancy bills.

Thriving new business Mazuma has been unveiled as the regional winner for the ‘Excellence in Customer Service’ category as well as scooping the prize for the second year running in the ‘Most Promising New Business’ category at The Chamber Awards 2008, handing it the chance to win the £50,000 top prize.

The short listing judges were impressed by Mazuma’s concept and potential, placing the business a regional winner and national finalist. The number of entries was higher than ever this year which is indicative of the success and profile of the Awards.
