BANKS & Co

Business Start-Up

Starting a business is a really exciting time, but we know it is also a very busy time.

You will no doubt have your plans in place and the drive to succeed, but you may not be aware of all the financial aspects involved.

We can help you throughout your journey, looking at:

  • The business style - deciding your company type is important, our team will help decide whether a sole trader, partnership or limited company is best for you. We will consider and advise on the taxes and liabilities you may owe before making this decision.
  • Make sure you are set-up and registered with HMRC for all the right things, such as Payroll and VAT
  • Help set-up your business bank account
  • Advise on the suitable computer software
  • Work with you to set up the accounting system
  • Company secretarial duties

Time spent at the beginning of the project is well spent and pays dividends as the business develops. Accounts have a habit of not developing at the same rate as the business, if the systems are not in place at the start. We will assign a client manager to you who will be with you throughout the initial journey and beyond.

The penalties for such offences can be severe, including substantial fines and imprisonment. The direct tax regime does not currently contain an equivalent offence.
