Business start-up support
We’ll help you get your new business set up properly from day one
Get it right from the start
Starting your own business is exciting. You’ve got a great idea, you’re full of energy, and you’re ready to make it happen.
But outside of your ‘killer business idea’, there’s a lot to think about. Registering with the right authorities, choosing the correct business structure, setting up systems, understanding your tax obligations – it can feel overwhelming, especially when you just want to focus on actually running your business.
That’s where we come in. We’ll take care of all the financial and administrative setup, so you can concentrate on getting your business off the ground. We’ll make sure everything is done properly from day one, giving you the solid foundations you need to grow.
Choosing the right structure for your business
One of the first decisions you’ll need to make is how to structure your business. Should you be a sole trader? A limited company? A partnership?
Each option has different implications for tax, legal liability, and how you run things day-to-day. There’s no single right answer – it depends on your circumstances, your plans, and what you’re comfortable with.
We’ll sit down with you and talk through the options. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each structure in plain English, and help you decide what makes most sense for your business. No pressure, no jargon – just practical advice to help you make an informed decision.
What we'll help you with
Starting a business involves getting a lot of different things in place.
We can help with as much or as little as you need, tailoring our service to fit your circumstances. Here’s what we can take care of:
- Company formation and registration
- HMRC registration – personal tax, corporate tax, VAT, PAYE
- Create a business plan
- Cash flow forecasting
- Funding and finance applications
- Setting up accounting systems – online cloud software
- Bookkeeping
- VAT returns
- Payroll and pensions
- Tax planning
Starting a business throws up questions all the time. We’re here to answer them. Whether it’s about expenses you can claim, how to invoice properly, or what records you need to keep, we’ll give you the guidance you need.
How we work with start-ups
Every business is different, so we tailor our service to what you need.
Some people come to us with just an idea and need help with everything. Others have already registered their business and just need help getting the accounting side sorted. We’re happy to work with you wherever you’re starting from.
We’ll begin with an informal chat to understand your business, what you’re planning, and where you need help. Then we’ll put together a package that covers what you need – nothing more, nothing less.
Our fees are transparent and agreed upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying and can budget accordingly. No surprise bills, no hidden extras.
And once you’re up and running, we’ll continue working with you to make sure your accounts stay on track and your business has the support it needs to succeed.
We'd love to talk
If you are frustrated by your current accountant, or are looking to appoint an accountant or bookkeeper for the first time, the first step is an informal chat.
We get to find out a bit about your business and what you need, and you get a feel if we are the right fit for you. It’s all about chemistry.
Give us a call on 01472 287387 or complete the form and we will give you a call back.
