Starting a business is both exciting and frightening … and it is a time when you need good advice if you are not to waste time and money on the wrong structures.
Here are ways in which we can help:

The legal structure

Choosing whether to be self-employed or through a limited company or LLP depends on the type and size of business. There are business, tax and cost reasons for making the choice and it is important that you know the issues from the beginning. And we will tell you the cost of each route as clearly as we can.

Business Plans

Having a plan is important but many people get stuck at some stage, particularly on the financials. We can help you to produce these on a level that is appropriate to you – whether for your own planning or in order to obtain initial funding.

Accounting systems

Setting up a proper accounting system is vital. And it needs to be appropriate to the size and potential growth of your business … and that can mean everything from a simple A4 file to a sophisticated computer system. Don’t worry; we cope with plastic bags full of receipts to on-line bookkeeping systems. We will be glad to sort out something that makes sense for you.

Employing staff

Once you get started you will have to work out how to pay yourself (if you trade through a limited company) as well as any staff you employ. We can help clients in running their payroll each month, producing payslips and telling you exactly how much tax and national insurance needs to be paid over.

Managing growth

Among our directors we have an accredited business advisor as well as a Fellow of the Charted Management Institute who also has an MBA in small business management, so we are in a unique position to assist you in your business planning. Get in touch and see how we can help.
