Nicky Goringe Larkin
DirectorMy days are dedicated to offering guidance to business proprietors through the diverse arms of the Goringe Group, encompassing Goringe Accountants, Goringe Consultancy, and Goringe Auditors, alongside my roles as a non-executive director across different enterprises. My involvement entails a comprehensive journey alongside business owners, from the inception of their ventures to the eventual culmination.
Over my career, I’ve been intricately involved in an array of business transformations, including sales, acquisitions, mergers, and management buyouts, diligently rendering both strategic counsel and thorough due diligence services. My niche proficiency lies in crafting finely-tailored financial business plans, a specialty proven invaluable in capital raising and debt financing endeavors.

Nigel Elkes
DirectorI specialize in assisting business owners with their exit strategies and facilitating financial ventures. Drawing upon my extensive background of owning and operating businesses for over three decades, I possess a unique vantage point that enables me to comprehend the intricacies from a business owner’s perspective. In my capacity as a director at the Business Board, I collaborate within a dynamic team devoted to enhancing the prospects of present business proprietors during their business sales.
Our modus operandi is distinguished by discretion, ensuring the confidentiality of our clients, while our persistent marketing, communication, and expansive network set us apart and yield tangible outcomes. Our impetus to establish a Finance brokerage emerged after witnessing instances where clients encountered exorbitant charges with limited alternatives – an experience I, too, have encountered when purchasing businesses. This firsthand awareness led to the inception of Business Board Financial Services, a transparent platform where we not only rigorously survey the market to secure the most competitive rates, but more importantly, where we candidly acknowledge that the solution sometimes doesn’t solely lie in acquiring more finance.
