Business start-up accountants in Glasgow
Starting out, the decisions that matter are fairly few: how to trade, what to register for, and how to keep records from day one. We'll go through them with you in plain English so you don't spend the first year correcting things.
What we can help with
- Sole trader, partnership or limited company — which fits
- Registering with HMRC and Companies House
- PAYE and VAT registration where needed
- Setting up bookkeeping from the start
- Understanding what tax to expect and when
- Budgeting for the first tax bill
First things to sort
Registration deadlines apply from when you start trading, and the first tax payment often falls further out than people expect — which makes it easy to be caught short.
- Register with HMRC when you start trading
- Keep business money separate from personal
- Set aside money for tax as you earn
- [VERIFY AGAINST CURRENT HMRC GUIDANCE BEFORE PUBLISHING] registration deadlines
