Get Your Business Off the Ground with QAccounting

As a business owner starting out on a new venture or into unknown territory, you may have overlooked the many duties and responsibilities that come with owning a business. The obligation that UK business owners must accurately account for all money earned and expenses paid and to ensure that this is declared to the Revenue in a timely manner is inescapable. This should not be looked at as a deterrent or a cause for concern, however, because that’s why accounting firms like QAccounting exist. To ensure that you are fully aware and fully on top of your duties, obligations, and responsibilities as a business owner here in the UK.

QAccounting’s 3 Easy Steps for Start-Ups

 

Not all start-ups are the same, but here at QAccounting we have put together 3 common first steps in setting up and starting out your start up business:

1. Company Formation

Company formation, of course, refers to setting up a limited company. We understand, however, that many first-time start-ups will still be deliberating whether they should first act as a sole trader business or a fully-fledged limited company. Thankfully, you have the option to do either, and you have the flexibility to switch from sole trader to limited company (and back!) at any time. If you want to set up your start-up business as a limited company, then you will need to get your company set up with Companies House. This process takes 24 hours for incorporation to be completed and requires you to have already thought up your company name and decided upon your company structure.

At QAccounting, we can help you with your company structure as well as submit your company for incorporation on your behalf. If you want to set up as a sole trader, then we can help with that, too. All you will be required to do is register for self-assessment and inform HMRC that you will begin earning a sole trader income.

2. Tax Registration

It may not sound like the most exciting step in your career in business, but something that every start-up must go through is the initial set up and registration of tax. As soon as you have completed your company formation, or registration to self-assessment, you will then need to register for your relevant taxes with HMRC. You may well be required to register for payroll, VAT, pensions, even CIS and others. The size and focus of your business will dictate what taxes you will be required to apply for, but tax registration is a vital part of getting your start up off the ground. This may come as news to some people, but please do not fear.

QAccounting is well versed in tax registration and can perform all the relevant tax registrations for you as part of our service.

3. Business Bank Account Set-Up

It is a legal requirement to get yourself set up with a dedicated business bank account if you plan to operate via a separate legal entity such as a limited company. If you aren’t going limited and you plan on operating as a sole it is still very important to get a business bank account set up anyway, for both accounting purposes and ease of bookkeeping. The process of getting your business bank account set up will take as long as the banking provider you have chosen takes to set up an account. Remember, your business bank account will be in your start-up business’ name, not your name personally, so there is no need to keep your business bank account with your personal banking provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Accounting for start-ups is virtually the same thing as accounting for any business, but with more of an understanding and leaning towards first time business owners and encouraging growth from a standing start. Accounting for start-ups is the recording of your business’ income and expenditure, the calculation of your tax liabilities, and the preparation and filing of your company and/or personal tax returns.

QAccounting offers a wide range of services for start-up businesses, all designed to make the managing of your business as easy and painless as possible. All our start-up services are designed to make the running of your business as cost effective and tax efficient as possible.

  • Company Formation
  • Tax Registration
  • Bookkeeping
  • Payroll
  • Dedicated Accountant
  • VAT Submissions
  • Self-Assessment Tax Return
  • Yearend Accounts Filing

Remember, all services that we offer to our start-up customers are optional, and you have the flexibility to only pay for what you need with QAccounting.

The cost of QAccounting’s accountancy services for start-ups completely depends on the extent of the work required to be carried out. Our customers can opt to only benefit from certain one-off services (your self-assessment tax return for example) or pay a reduced monthly fee should you not want to benefit from any one of the services we offer. For an accurate, immediate quote for your start-up accounting services, complete our easy-to-use online quote form and we will provide you with your definitive monthly accountancy fee.

The benefit of choosing an online accounting provider like QAccounting to support your start-up business is that you will benefit from our fantastic systems and processes for a fraction of the cost a local high-street accountant would charge. At QAccounting, you pay one easy-to-understand, low-cost monthly fee, and this is based on the work you require us to do, not an arbitrary hourly fee that we dictate. Now I know what you’re thinking: will I ever get to speak to an accountant? The answer to that is yes, we have in-house accountants who support our customers every day, and all start-up clients are paired with their own dedicated accountants as soon as they join us.

Absolutely not! Our maximum contract period is an initial period of 3 months and following this short time should you wish to cancel your arrangement with QAccounting then you can do so with no exit fees or awkward conversations. We do not like to tie ourselves down to our customers and we understand that circumstances can change. That’s why we’ve done away with any lengthy tie in periods or awkward contract periods.

That’s the easy part! Simply complete our easy-to-use online quote engine for a bespoke monthly service fee, and our team will do the rest! Once you have found a service level that suits you, clients are able to submit your initial details via our online sign-up form, and then our onboarding team will get your application processed and your account set up. It really is that easy!
