Starting a new business is an exciting step, but it also comes with important decisions that can have long-term tax, legal, and financial consequences. Getting the structure and registrations right from the outset can save time, money, and stress later on.

We begin by taking the time to understand your circumstances, goals, and plans for the business. Based on this, we advise on the most suitable ownership structure — whether that is operating as a limited company, sole trader, or unincorporated partnership. We clearly explain the advantages and disadvantages of each option, including tax efficiency, personal liability, administrative requirements, and future flexibility.

Once the structure has been agreed upon, we handle the full business setup for you. This includes company incorporation with Companies House, where relevant, or registering you with HMRC as self-employed or as a partnership. We ensure all statutory details are correct and that your business is properly established from day one.

We also advise on and carry out the necessary HMRC registrations, including:

• VAT registration, where required or beneficial
• PAYE employer setup if you will be paying yourself or employees
• CIS registration for businesses operating in the construction industry

We guide you not only on how to register, but when to do so, helping you avoid common mistakes such as registering too early or missing key deadlines.

Our support doesn’t stop once your business is up and running. We remain on hand to provide ongoing advice as your business grows, ensuring you stay compliant, tax-efficient, and well supported at every stage.

Starting a New Business

We help you choose the right business structure based on your circumstances — whether a limited company, sole trader, or partnership — and explain the tax and practical implications clearly.

We then handle the full setup, including company incorporation and registering your business with HMRC. This can include VAT registration, PAYE employer setup, and CIS registration, ensuring everything is in place from day one.
