Most people starting up in business do so because they have a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through. However, they may not be experts in the legal and financial aspects of running a business and such matters often appear daunting. Fortunately you do not need to be an expert in these fields to succeed in business but you do need the support of a team of trained experts. We can help. Just bring us your business ideas and we will help you to make them a reality! We will help you to:
• Decide on the most suitable structure for your business - sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership or limited company;
• Prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets, and trading forecasts;
• Assess the finance requirements, advise on the best sources of finance and draw up the necessary proposals;
• Establish a good working relationship with your bank;
• Complete any registration procedures with Companies House and HMRC
• Deal with company secretarial issues;
• Set up a recording system for your internal use and for complying with statutory requirements;
• Decide on what computer hardware to buy and help with the installation of accountancy software;
• Keep on top of bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and other accounting requirements; and
• Help with all aspects of business compliance and administration.
Ever changing regulations and the growing demands of HMRC mean VAT compliance can be a difficult administrative process. We can help to ensure that you comply with the regulations and that overpayments are not made. To help you manage this complex area, we provide an efficient, cost-effective VAT service, which includes:
• Assistance with VAT registration;
• Advice on VAT planning and administration;
• Use of the most appropriate scheme;
• VAT control and reconciliation;
• Help with completing VAT returns;
• Planning to minimise future problems with HMRC;
• Negotiating with HMRC in disputes and representing you at VAT tribunals if necessary.
We can help you with all your general bookkeeping requirements, either at your offices or at our office. You may require help to write up books or need us to add the finishing touches to information on bookkeeping systems in order to create your own management information. If you do not employ a bookkeeper then we can take up the role or help you recruit the right person for your business.

Running a payroll can be time consuming and complicated and divert resources from the core activities of your business. We can address this by installing payroll software and training your staff. Outsourcing this activity also helps relieve the pressure and we can offer cost-effective solutions. We are able to provide the complete service, what ever the size or complexity of your business, or simply provide support when needed.
