New Businesses

When you start in business, there is a lot to think about. It is easy for important matters to be overlooked. Getting it right at the start, makes life easier later.

We regularly advise new business owners, and have produced a guide based on matters we frequently discuss at our initial meeting with a new client.

The areas covered are as follows:

• Options - limited company or not?
• Notifying the tax man
• Putting aside money to pay tax
• Do I register for VAT?
• How do I pay myself?
• Keeping records
• Do I need a separate bank account?
• Do I need a business plan?
• Setting up a limited company
• Other things to be aware of

It is not meant to be exhaustive. Our aim is to make sure you are aware of key things to do and consider, and to give you pointers that will guide you and provoke your thinking.

We wish you success in your business venture, and we will be delighted to help you in any way we can.
