FAQs
Should I be a sole trader or a limited company?
It depends on your income, risk level, and growth plans. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons and help you choose what’s best for your situation.
Can you register my business for me?
Yes — we can handle your company formation or sole trader registration, including HMRC setup and banking advice.
Do I need to register for VAT when I start?
Not always. You only need to register if your turnover exceeds £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period. We’ll advise you based on your forecast.
How much does startup support cost?
Packages typically start from £195 depending on what services you need. We offer fixed-fee bundles for startup clients.
