Many people come to Winchester Bourne for specialist new business support when they are starting a business.

Wondering whether you should operate as self employed or form a limited company – unsure of what you need to know, the best way forward, compliance issues you must understand and action. We will take you through all the options, benefits and tax implications of running your own company.

We can set up your new company for you. We can be appointed as your agents to deal with all aspects from HMRC. We are here to share our knowledge to get you off to the best possible start.

We will advise on claimable expenses for your business, provide guidance on the best way to keep your books and records. Offer a full range of services to help you with cloud based accounting solutions. We will set up Paye schemes – run a monthly payroll for Directors for a minimal fee – and advise you on Dividend payments and the most tax efficient way to take remuneration.

We will apply for Vat registration for you and advise on matters such as Vat flat rate schemes, cash accounting, margin schemes and the impact of MTD [Making Tax Digital].
