Offering support to entrepreneurs...

Most people who start up in business do so because they have a good business proposition and the enterprise and commitment to see it through, not because they are experts in legal, financial and fiscal aspects of running a business.

Indeed, these matters can often seem daunting, even off-putting, to the budding entrepreneur. Oakley Accounting can help you:

• Decide on the most suitable structure for your business – sole trader, partnership or limited company
• Advise you of the necessary formalities that you need to undertake with HMRC to start your business running and comply with the legalities
• Where appropriate, set up your own limited company along with getting your business registered for VAT and setting up a payroll
• Establish a good working relationship with your bank
• Complete any registration procedures with Companies House and HMRC
• Deal with Company secretarial issues
• Set up/advise on a record keeping system for your internal use, ensuring that you comply with statutory requirements
