Key steps to consider.
1 Speak to an accountant early
Getting advice at the beginning helps you choose the right structure and avoid mistakes that are costly to fix later.
2 Choose your company name
We’ll help you think about branding considerations and practical admin.
3 Agree share structure and ownership
Who owns the business? What percentages? We’ll help you understand the implications.
4 Appoint directors and responsibilities
Clear roles now makes everything easier later.
5 Register for the right taxes
Depending on your business, you may need:
VAT
PAYE
CIS
(We can also signpost official HMRC guidance where relevant.)
6 Choose the right accounting software
We’ll help you pick a cloud system that suits your needs, keeps records clean, and saves time. See our recommended app stack
7 Set up a business bank account
We’ll advise what info you need and how to keep business and personal finances separate.
8 Consider protection and peace of mind
Insurance and optional tax enquiry support can reduce risk as you grow.
