Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from small business owners

Our packages start from competitive rates for small Ltd companies. We offer fixed-fee pricing so you know exactly what you'll pay – no surprises. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
What accounts does a limited company need to file?
Limited companies must file: (1) Annual accounts with Companies House within 9 months of year-end, (2) Corporation Tax return with HMRC within 12 months, (3) Confirmation Statement annually. We handle all of this.
Should I pay myself salary or dividends?
Usually a combination is most tax-efficient: a small salary up to the NI threshold (to maintain state pension entitlement) plus dividends from profits. We'll calculate the optimal mix for your situation.
Do I need to register for VAT?
You must register if turnover exceeds £90,000 (2024/25 threshold). Voluntary registration can benefit some businesses. We'll advise whether registration makes sense for you.
