Set it up right, before it costs money to unpick.
First accounts, first payroll, and the share decisions that are straightforward now and expensive to reverse once someone is diligencing you. Fixed price, agreed before anything starts.
You are early, and the decisions are stacking up faster than the revenue
If three or four of these are true, this is the right page. If the company is a few years old with settled shareholders, owner-managed companies is the closer fit.
Not sure this is the right shape?
Tell us how the business is structured and we will point you at the right page — or tell you plainly that another firm is the better fit.
The work a first company actually needs
Not a package with things in it you will never use. Scoped from how the business is built, then fixed.
First accounts & corporation tax
Statutory accounts and the CT600, filed on time, with the reference date chosen deliberately rather than by default.
See the service →Payroll & PAYE from scratch
Scheme registration, RTI, pensions auto-enrolment, and directors paid in a way that stands up later.
Talk to us →VAT registration & MTD
Whether to register, when, on which scheme, and the digital records HMRC expects once you do.
Talk to us →Founder shares & EMI groundwork
Share classes, vesting and an option pool set up so the structure survives a term sheet rather than complicating one.
Talk to us →Bookkeeping that survives diligence
A ledger someone else can read. Set up once, properly, instead of rebuilt in a panic during a raise.
Talk to us →Company secretarial & ID verification
Confirmation statements, registers, filings, and directors and PSCs verified as Companies House now requires.
Talk to us →Cheap in year one. Expensive in year three.
None of these are urgent in the sense that something breaks tomorrow. All of them are far harder to change once there is an investor, an employee, or a filed set of accounts sitting on top of them.
Scoped, priced, then started
You will know the number before we start
Engagements start at £2,000 a month. The figure you actually pay comes from scoping how the business is built, and it is fixed before any work begins. All figures exclude VAT.
How our pricing works →Tell us how the business is built.
A short set of questions about structure, people and where you trade. We come back with a scope and a fixed price. If we are not the right firm for you, we will say so rather than quote for it.
