Business Start-Up & Company Set-Up
Starting a new business? I can help you understand the initial steps and set up an organised Xero bookkeeping system ready for you to begin trading.
Sole Trader Business Start-Up
£100 one-off fee
Starting a business as a sole trader? I’ll guide you through the initial steps, set up Xero for your business and get everything ready for me to manage your ongoing bookkeeping. If you’d like to send your own customer invoices, I’ll set that up in Xero too.
This includes:
Guidance through registering as self-employed with HMRC
Guidance through CIS registration if you work as a construction subcontractor or pay subcontractors as a contractor
Guidance on using a separate bank account for your business
Xero setup and configuration, including customer invoicing if you wish to use it
Hubdoc setup so you can send me receipts and other documents
Bookkeeping categories tailored to your business
An explanation of which invoices, receipts and business records I’ll need from you
Once your registrations are in place, I’ll request the authorisation needed to manage the relevant work under your agreed ongoing bookkeeping package. The £100 start-up fee is separate from your Xero subscription and monthly bookkeeping fee.
Limited Company Set-Up
£295 one-off fee
The £100 Companies House filing fee is included.
For anyone starting a new private limited company, I will complete the company formation and set up its digital bookkeeping ready for the company to begin trading.
This includes:
Company formation and registration with Companies House
Assistance with selecting the appropriate SIC code
Registration of the company’s director, shareholder and person with significant control
Certificate of Incorporation and standard formation documents
Corporation Tax registration when required
Xero setup and configuration
Hubdoc setup for uploading receipts and documents
Bookkeeping categories tailored to the company
Advice on opening a limited-company bank account
An explanation of the bookkeeping records the company must maintain
Directors and people with significant control must complete the required Companies House identity verification and provide their Companies House personal code before the company can be formed.
Where VAT, PAYE or CIS registration is needed, I’ll guide you through the setup as part of this service. Once the registrations are in place, I’ll request your authorisation to manage the relevant returns and submissions under your agreed ongoing bookkeeping package.
Ongoing Bookkeeping
Once your business is set up, I can continue managing your bookkeeping through my monthly Xero bookkeeping service.
This can include:
Complete bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
VAT returns and CIS contractor returns
Making Tax Digital submissions
Monthly Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports
Ongoing support throughout the year
Monthly bookkeeping services for new start-ups start from £45 per month.
