The job that costs you when it slips

Setting up a company is more than filling in a form. The £10 budget agents will incorporate you in minutes — but they won’t tell you the best share structure, register you for the right taxes, or keep you compliant afterwards. That’s where the costly mistakes happen.

Once you’re trading, the obligations keep coming: confirmation statements, statutory registers, Companies House changes and your first accounts. Miss them and the penalties — and the strike-off warnings — follow.

  • Getting the share structure wrong from day one
  • Missing the tax registrations a new company needs
  • Confirmation statements that have to be filed yearly
  • Statutory registers and Companies House changes
  • A registered office address you may not want to be your home
  • First-year accounts deadlines that catch people out
What we do

Hand it over, and consider it handled

Setting up a company is more than filling in a form — share structure, directors, registered office and your first filings all matter, and getting them right from day one saves headaches later.

Still deciding?

The honest answers to what you’re thinking

How much do accountants charge to set up a company?

Incorporation itself is inexpensive — the value is in doing it right and the ongoing support. We’ll quote a clear fixed price for formation, and set you up on a fixed monthly fee for the accounting that follows.

Do I need an accountant to set up a Ltd company?

Not strictly — you can incorporate yourself or use a budget agent. But getting the structure and registrations right from the start, and staying compliant afterwards, is exactly where an accountant pays for itself.

Should I switch from sole trader to a limited company?

Often it saves tax once profits reach a certain level, but it adds admin. We’ll model both for your numbers and only recommend it if it genuinely benefits you.

What’s a confirmation statement?

It’s an annual filing confirming your company details to Companies House. We prepare and submit it for you, so it’s never late.
