Setting up as a sole trader or a limited company? We help you choose the right structure, handle the Companies House and HMRC registrations, set up your bookkeeping and payroll, and make sure you're compliant from the very first day — with a plan that scales as you grow.
Sole trader or limited? Registered for the right taxes? Set up on the right software? Get these decisions right at the start and everything is easier — and cheaper — later.
Let's fix itYou don't know whether to trade as a sole trader or set up a limited company.
Registering with Companies House and HMRC feels like a maze of forms and deadlines.
You're worried about missing a registration and getting fined before you've even started.
You want to look professional and be compliant from day one, without overpaying for things you don't need yet.
We do the setup, explain the essentials, and give you a structure that fits where you're heading.
A straight recommendation on the right structure for your profit, your risk and your plans — with the numbers to back it up.
Your company formed correctly — directors, shares and registered office set up properly, not just cheaply.
Corporation tax, PAYE, VAT and self assessment registered as needed, at the right time, so nothing is missed.
Set up on the right cloud software with your bank feed connected, so your records are clean from the first invoice.
A director's payroll set up so you can pay yourself tax-efficiently from the start.
We set you up for where you're going, not just where you are — so you're not rebuilding it all in a year.
A no-obligation chat — we learn your business, spot what's costing you, and tell you exactly where we can help.
One fixed fee, agreed in writing before anything starts. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no clock-watching.
We do the switch, deal with HMRC, and keep everything filed on time — you deal directly with Bobby, not a call centre.
A qualified, regulated practice — never described as chartered, always straight with you. Bobby's been in accountancy since sixteen.
You know the cost before we start. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices at year end.
You deal with the person doing the work — not a call centre, not a rotating account manager.
Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent means we work with you wherever you are — rooted in Kent, working nationwide.
It comes down to your profit level, your appetite for admin, and whether you need the liability protection and credibility of a company. As a rough guide, incorporating often pays off once profits are consistently into the higher ranges — but it's genuinely case-by-case. We'll run your numbers both ways and give you a clear answer.
The incorporation itself is usually same-day once we have your details. Getting the tax registrations, bank account, software and payroll properly in place takes a little longer — but we handle it in the right order so you can start trading quickly and compliantly.
Typically some combination of corporation tax (companies), self assessment (you personally), PAYE (if you run payroll) and VAT (once you're over the threshold or choose to register). We work out exactly which apply to you and register you at the right moment — registering too early can create needless filing obligations.
We're with you for the long run. Formation is just day one — most of our start-ups stay with us for their bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, accounts and tax planning as they grow, all under one fixed fee.
