New Start-Ups

If you are planning to start up a new business, you may need help with a lot of things such as deciding on your legal form, notifying the Revenue, shareholder or partnership agreements, VAT registration, PAYE registration, choosing a bank account, taking on employees, business plans, cash flow forecasts, insurance, health and safety, venture capital, the list goes on and on. Come and talk to us so we can smooth your way as much as possible, leaving you to focus on the main task of actually running the business.

Free Consultation

bulletpoint Visit Us: Alternatively, you may come to see us by appointment for a free 30 minute meeting in our own office.

Our Fees

We aim to agree all fees with our clients up front with no nasty surprises. If an hourly rate is agreed, we estimate the amount of time a task is likely to take as best we can and keep you informed of progress as we go along. In many cases we can agree fixed fees for certain tasks such as year end work so you know exactly how much to expect. We are also flexible on invoicing and take account of your cash flow requirements.

Unfortunately it is not possible to give a comprehensive list of fees for each service we provide as each client is different and a task that may be fairly simple for one such as a cash flow forecast may require a higher degree of expertise for another.

However, we aim to keep our fees fair and competitive and provide excellent value for money at all times.
