Trading format
With expert advice, we help you decide what trading format is best for your situation. The type of business and how you want to operate will determine whether trading as a sole trader or a limited company is right for you. We explain the tax implications, liability considerations and administrative requirements in plain English.
Business formation
We can officially register your business or set you up as a sole trader. We take care of the paperwork digitally with Companies House and inform the relevant organisations, so you can start trading right away. Our company formation packages make it simple, quick and easy — choose your company name, purchase a package, provide your details, and leave the rest to us.
Finances from day one
Set up an efficient accounting process using the latest cloud-based software. We tap into business expertise with advice and guidance along the way — calculating the correct amount of tax you owe, filing returns, using available tax reliefs and managing cash flow so you are never caught short.
