Frequently asked

I have a business idea but I am not sure if I should be a sole trader or a limited company. Can you help me decide?+

Yes — that is the first conversation. We model both options against your expected income, drawings, future plans, and risk profile, and walk through the trade-offs in plain English.

How long does it take to incorporate?+

Companies House registration is usually same-day. PAYE, VAT and Corporation Tax registrations take 1–3 weeks. We handle the full set.

Do you offer a "first 12 months" package?+

Yes — a fixed-fee package covering company setup, bookkeeping software, payroll for up to 3 staff, the first set of statutory accounts and the first CT600. Quoted upfront.

Can you help me open a business bank account?+

We provide introductions to high-street and challenger banks and can support the application. Account decisions remain with the bank.

What software do you recommend?+

Xero for most owner-managed businesses; QuickBooks for clients already on it; FreeAgent for sole traders and contractors. We are certified partners across all three.
