FAQs

Start-up support questions answered.

What do start-ups need to do first?

Choose a structure and register with the right bodies. The exact steps depend on how you are trading, and we can talk them through.

When should I register for Self Assessment?

If you start self-employment, you generally need to register with HMRC. We help you with the timing.

Do I need an accountant from day one?

Not legally, but getting the set-up right early usually saves time and trouble later.
