You’ll need advice when you write a business plan

If you contact us while you’re writing your business plan, we will be able to use our accounting software to add financial projections and other reports to it. This will help you create a business plan that’s realistic, professional and more likely to succeed plus you will get the benefit of our financial knowledge and advice right from the start.

You’ll need advice about your company’s legal structure

Not all businesses have the same legal structure – there are different types that are determined by a number of factors. Some might be called limited companies,limited liability partnerships or corporations, others could be sole traders or proprietors. You should carefully consider each type before deciding which one best suits you. For example, you may do business as a sole trader or sole proprietor, working on a self-employed basis and invoicing under your own name.If this is the case, you might be able to offset some of your living expenses against tax.

However,this also means you could be held personally liable for any business-related obligations. If your business fails to pay a supplier, defaults on a debt or loses a lawsuit, the creditor could legally come after your house or other possessions.

With a limited liability company structure, it’s different. As the name suggests, the liability of the business is limited to the assets owned by the business, not you personally (though there may be exceptions in some circumstances).

We can explain the legal business structures available and help you choose the one that best suits you.

Dealing with Companies House and HMRC

No matter which business structure you choose, you will need to deal with HMRC and perhaps Companies House. Some business owners can find this quite daunting, but with us as your representative, we deal with all issues on your behalf.

We will:

• Complete and file the required legal and compliance documents for your business
• Keep your company up to date with the latest tax laws
• Prepare annual statements of accounts
• Keep your company’s status updated at Companies House
• Maintain records of directors and other administrative personnel
• Organise and record share/stock allocation, such as when the business is formed, when a business partner leaves or a new partner joins
• Handle your payroll and ensuring that all employees’ tax codes and payments are recorded correctly.
• Prepare your tax documents correctly

You’ll need an accountant when you apply for a business loan or overdraft

Banks like to know they’ll get back the money they lend out. Since the credit crunch,lending to small businesses has dropped, this makes it all the more important that you have a sound business case when you apply for a loan or overdraft.

We can help improve your chances. Even the fact that you have an accountant might sway the bank in your favour, as it implies you’re serious about your business. With our cloud based accounting software, we can present facts and figures that backup your application for funding plus answer any questions your bank might have about revenue projections and expenses.

You’ll need an accountant as your business grows

Companies don’t always grow at a steady rate. A new client or a big project can mean you need to grow your business more quickly than expected.

We will look after the detail (payroll, employee tax management, property tax, utility payments and so on),leaving you free to look at the bigger picture of the way your business is growing.
