Top Tips for starting a business


Bournemouth based accountancy firm Accounting 4 Business, have noticed that when it comes to starting a new business, many people are in the dark. That’s why they have developed their Start Up department that will deal with any query a new company may have.

Steve Bicknell, Managing Director of Accounting 4 Business has some advice for those who are thinking of starting a business, or have recently set one up.

Becoming a company
Speaking to a specialist can help you decide whether you should trade as a Sole Trader, Partnership or Limited Company. You’ll need to consider:
Profit Level – if your profit level is above £15k a year, then becoming a company can be more beneficial
Limited Liability – as a Sole Trader your personal assets are accountable

Loans to your company
If you need to borrow money for your Limited company, you should think about:
Borrowing the money personally, and lending it to your company – you can get a tax relief
Making yourself a secured creditor

VAT and you
There are real benefits to registering to pay VAT before you reach the threshold. These include:
If your clients are businesses you will be able to reclaim the VAT you charge
It your clients are consumers, they will probably expect to be charged VAT anyway
You can claim VAT refunds for assets purchased up to 3 years before registration (even pre-trading)

Expenses
There are ways and means to make the most of your expense allowance. Accounting 4 Business can help you:
Get a dispensation (without this you will have to declare all your expenses on a P11D)
Claim childcare for your employees at £55 p/w

Employment Status
There are many things to be careful with when it comes to hiring staff – you will need expert guidance to help you stay this side of the law.
Be aware of IR35 when employing sub-contractors – take the Employment Status Test.
If you are a contractor or employ sub-contractors, consider protecting yourself with help from QDOS, who have an unrivalled record of defending Personal Service Companies against IR35 status challenges.
