Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about starting your business
Our startup packages range from £900 to £1,600 + VAT per year, depending on your needs. This includes incorporation, tax registrations, and ongoing compliance support. All fees are fixed and agreed upfront.
Not necessarily. VAT registration is only mandatory once your turnover exceeds £90,000 in a 12-month period. However, voluntary registration can be beneficial in some cases, and we’ll advise you on the best approach for your business.
A limited company is a separate legal entity that offers personal liability protection and can be more tax-efficient as you grow. A sole trader is simpler but offers no liability protection. We’ll help you choose the right structure during your free consultation.
With our service, company incorporation typically takes 1-2 working days. We handle all the paperwork with Companies House and ensure everything is set up correctly from day one.
We provide free Xero software with all our packages. Xero is cloud-based, MTD-compliant, and perfect for startups. We’ll set it up and train you on how to use it.
Yes! We have extensive experience helping startups secure funding. We can prepare financial projections, business plans, and support your applications for loans, grants, and investor funding.
