Pricing
Adoption of a company that is not yet trading
Our charge for taking on an existing company that has not started trading, and for arranging all the necessary documentation, is £65.00 (+ VAT). Please be aware that, although you may need initially to pay this fee from your personal account, your company will be able to refund this out of pre-tax income.
Transfer of a company that is already trading
We charge a basic annual fee of £1,500 (+VAT). This is payable in quarterly instalments of £375 (+VAT).
If your annual turnover does not exceed £30,000, you would be eligible for a lower accounting fee. In this case we would charge 5% of your annual turnover (with a minimum fee of £800 + VAT per year and a maximum fee of £1,500 per year).
Bespoke services, outside of our standard package, may incur an additional fee.
Registered Office
If your company is located at your home address, using our office address as your registered office gives you complete privacy, prevents unwanted mail and intrusive contact originating from this source, and reduces the likelihood of identity theft originating from the Companies House database.


Payroll
Every organisation is unique, and our team works closely with you to truly understand the nature and needs of your business. We will calculate your salary for you, ensuring your tax and NI obligations are paid to HMRC on time and in the correct format under the Real Time Information (RTI) legislation. We will also keep you updated on any new legislation that might affect your payroll, such as the Employment Allowance and Auto Enrolment.
Accounts Preparation & Corporation Tax
As part of our package we provide you with FreeAgent bookkeeping software, a user-friendly web-based system that enables you to bring all your finances together in one place.
From your bookkeeping records, we prepare and file your annual accounts with HMRC and Companies House. We also prepare your Corporation Tax computation.
And, of course, our knowledgeable accounts team are always on hand to discuss any issues you may have.


VAT
However you may also register on a voluntary basis even if your turnover is not that high. We will apply to HMRC for your company to be registered for VAT and also register you for online quarterly VAT submissions. We would normally register you on the VAT flat rate scheme (FRS) unless it is inappropriate for your circumstances, but our staff will advise you on the best option.
Our standard bookkeeping software can calculate the tax due each quarter, making it quick and easy to complete and file your VAT returns electronically.
Guidance and assistance is always available from our VAT specialists.
