Getting started

Business plan & financial support

Kata Tipis founder is also a chartered accountant (Ssshh! Don’t tell anyone). We, therefore, have a wealth of experience on all things business-related.
We can advise on the most tax-efficient way to set up and run your business, help to manage cash flow, and dealing with admin issues such as VAT registration.
We have built numerous return on investment models designed for your specific needs… whether it setting up a venue, or a standard Rental Business Profit and Loss.
We have standard business plans for you to utilise should you be looking to finance your investment or raise funds for your venture.
GETTING STARTED

Planning & Infrastructure

We understand that navigating the myriad of planning policies & frameworks can be infuriating!  With local policies differing across the country, many customers give up rather than try and secure the relevant consents for a Tipi on their property.  We have helped many people on their journey, with advice on when or not a Tipi can be erected, for how long and under which circumstances. We can advise on the potential roadblocks in your way from noise, visual impact and more.  Where more detailed help is required, we have a network of experienced planning consultants experienced in Tipi projects who can help.
