- AccountantsEvery new company owes a first set of accounts and a confirmation statement, and many have no accountant yet.
- IT and software firmsEmail, devices and security get set up in the first months, and the choices made then tend to stick.
- Insurance brokersEmployers' liability, professional indemnity and van cover are bought early, often in a hurry.
