Business Structure | |
Are you going to launch your business as a sole trader, partnership or limited company? Before you choose your business entity the following should be considered:
|
|
Banks and Finance companies | |
Identify your "friendly bank manager". As this can be one of the most important contacts for your business it's crucial that you're well prepared for that critical first meeting. Fortunately, here at House of Accountants we already have well established relationships with all the major banks in the UK and are able to help you prepare for your first and subsequent meetings. | |
VAT (Value Added Tax) | |
You should decide whether or not it's in your best interest to register for VAT from the time of starting up. Whether you decide to register now or in the future both the profitability and the cashflow of your business will be affected. One of the main advantages of registering for VAT when you do start-up is you'll be able to reclaim VAT on purchases made before you start trading. Don't worry though, if you find it's best to register at a later point in time HMRC have made it possible for traders to reclaim VAT prior to their registration provided the claim is made within certain time limits. For further guidance on VAT registration please see our VAT section. |
