Business Start Up Advice

Now is a great time to start a business but at Westcotts we know that it can be a daunting process with a lot to consider.

We can help you through the whole process and keep you focused on:

  • What you need to do now…
  • What you need to do in the next week…
  • What you can leave for the moment…

We know that you will have lots of questions including:

  • Should I trade as a sole trader, through a partnership or perhaps as a limited company?
  • What do I need to do about tax and HMRC?
  • How should I keep my books and should I be using cloud-based software?
  • How do I pay myself?
  • What about employing staff?
  • Should I be registered for VAT?
  • What do I do about my business vehicles?
  • What other advisers do I need?

We are here for you throughout and will take the time to explain the options and work with you to find out what is best, given your particular circumstances.

As a firm we are very well connected and can suggest other advisers and professionals to assist you as required.

It all starts with a chat over a coffee so please do get in touch.  The meeting would be free, confidential and with no obligation on your part.

We’re here for you!
