How Appleleaf Accountants Can Help Your Start-Up Business
Being your own boss is a wonderful feeling. However, with so much to consider in terms of the initial legalities and business plan, you can soon become overwhelmed. This is particularly true when it comes to the dreaded self-assessment. As a chartered certified accountancy practice, we offer a personalised business start-up service that’ll free you up to focus on what you do best. Let’s explore the possibilities.
Fail to plan … plan to fall behind
We believe that a business plan forms the foundations of a thriving business. Indeed, your business could grow 30% faster compared with those who avoid the writing of this vital document. Let us take the weight off your shoulders and work alongside you to prepare a tailored business plan.
Which structure is right for you?
Knowing the best structure for your business idea is essential. And we can help you to determine the most appropriate legal structure, based on your (and any partner’s) circumstances. Whether you’re a sole trader, limited liability/standard partnership or limited company in the making – we can advise on the most suitable legal status.
We don’t stop there either. After deciding on a legal status, we’ll also simplify your company’s formation and secretarial duties.
