Frequently asked questions

Should I be a sole trader or a limited company?

It depends on your profits, plans and personal circumstances. We compare your take-home pay under both options before you decide.

How do I register as self-employed?

You register with HMRC for Self Assessment by 5 October after the end of the tax year in which you started trading. We can complete the registration for you.

How much do your services cost?

Our fees depend on the work involved. After a free consultation we send a written fixed-fee quote, so you know the full cost before we start.
