Every growing business reaches a point where its finance function needs to evolve. My CFO Ltd's complimentary Finance Function Health Check has been designed to help you understand whether your current finance capability is supporting your ambitions for growth.

We'll spend time getting to know your business, your long-term objectives and how your finance function currently operates. We'll identify what's working well, highlight areas where improvements could add value, and share practical recommendations that can strengthen your finance function as your business grows.

Following the review, you'll receive a clear summary of our findings, along with a roadmap outlining how your finance function may need to evolve over time. Whether that's improving reporting, strengthening financial controls, introducing systems, or planning for future finance leadership, you'll leave with greater clarity and confidence about the next steps for your business.

Our aim here isn't to sell you a service, it's to provide independent, experienced insight that helps you make informed decisions for the future.

As more customers turn to AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity to find businesses, many companies have no idea how — or whether — they're being recommended. Orbital's AI Visibility Audit gives you a clear, data-driven picture of your current standing across these platforms.

Using a purpose-built scoring tool that assesses five weighted categories of AI discoverability, we analyse how your business is currently represented (or missed) in AI-generated answers, and benchmark you against competitors. You'll receive a clear score, a breakdown of strengths and gaps, and practical next steps to improve how AI systems find, understand, and recommend your business.

This audit is being offered free of charge to Somerset Chamber members as part of an inter-business offer — no cost, no obligation, just useful insight into a fast-moving area of digital visibility.

Every business is different, which is why we don't believe in one-size-fits-all waste management.

At Biffa, we work with businesses across Somerset to understand how waste is currently being managed and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, increase recycling and reduce costs where possible.

Whether you've been with your current provider for one year or ten, it's often worth taking a fresh look at your waste arrangements.

During a review we can help you:

• Benchmark your current waste costs
• Review container sizes and collection frequencies
• Improve recycling rates
• Identify opportunities to simplify your waste management
• Discuss current and upcoming Government waste legislation and what it means for your business
• Sense-check that your current waste arrangements remain fit for purpose

Many businesses are still unsure how the recent Simpler Recycling legislation affects them, or what further changes are due next year. If you're unsure, we're happy to explain the requirements and review your current setup—there's absolutely no obligation.

Exclusive Somerset Chamber Member Offer

Chamber members can also benefit from an exclusive 20% discount when signing up to two or more waste streams using campaign code 20FLASH.

Available across:

• General Waste
• Mixed Recycling
• Food Waste
• Glass
• Paper & Cardboard
• Metal, Plastic & Cartons
• FEL Containers

If you'd simply like an independent opinion on your current waste arrangements, I'd be delighted to come out and have a chat.
