Business start-up

It is essential to properly think out the correct structure for your new business and to start with sensible accounting procedures in place.

There are many issues to consider such as whether to incorporate or not, the tax consequences of each entity on the taxable profits and forethought to an exit route.

Then there is the necessary filing of documents for new businesses depending on which business structure is adopted.

At Rayner Essex we can sit down with you and take you through all the various options and the implications, assist with the forming of a Limited Company and registering it with the appropriate authorities, or deal with the Inland Revenue if the self employed or partnership route is more appropriate to your circumstance. We also advise as to the need to register for VAT and setting up a PAYE scheme and generally be there to support you through the process.

Take a look at our business start up section in our resource area and feel free to e-mail either our London based business development partner Stephen Jacobs scj@rayneressex.com or our St Albans based audit partner Antony Federer af@rayneressex.com or our St Albans based management accounting and IT partner Neil Heyes nmh@rayneressex.com, or call Stephen Jacobs at our London office on 020 7388 2641 or Antony or Neil at our St Albans office on 01727 833222 to talk through any issues which you need advice on, or to make a free initial appointment to discuss starting a new business.
