Running a limited company involves a lot more paperwork than going it alone as a sole trader. We handle all of it for you — annual accounts, corporation tax, Companies House filings, and the day-to-day questions that come up. You focus on running the business; we keep it compliant.
Whether you're a one-person consultancy or a growing team of ten, our limited company service covers everything you're legally required to do — plus the proactive advice that helps you keep more of what your company earns.
Our limited company clients in Edgware, Harrow and across North West London come from every sector — IT contractors, consultants, doctors and dentists, property investors, family businesses, retail shops, and growing services companies. The common thread isn't industry — it's the type of business owner who wants their accounts handled by someone they can actually speak to.
We work especially well with:
Thinking of switching from your current accountant? It's far easier than most people expect. We handle the whole process — contacting your previous accountant, requesting your records, registering as your new agent with HMRC and Companies House. You don't need an awkward conversation or do any paperwork yourself.
We charge a fixed monthly fee that covers everything your limited company needs — annual accounts, corporation tax, confirmation statement, and unlimited email and phone support. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices for asking a quick question. You'll know exactly what you're paying every month.
Fees depend on the size and complexity of your company. A dormant company costs less than a trading one; a one-person consultancy costs less than a team of ten with payroll. After a free initial chat we'll send you a clear, tailored proposal so you can decide if it's right for you.
If you're newly self-employed and not sure whether to incorporate, we'll give you straight advice. Generally speaking, a limited company starts to make sense once your profits are around £30,000-£40,000 or above, because of the tax efficiency of taking dividends instead of paying higher-rate income tax. But there are good reasons to stay as a sole trader too — less paperwork, simpler tax, and more flexibility. We'll look at your specific position and tell you what we'd recommend.
Our fees are agreed upfront as a fixed monthly amount, so there are no surprises. A small one-director company with simple affairs typically starts at around £75-£100 per month plus VAT, which covers your year-end accounts, corporation tax return, confirmation statement and ongoing advice. Larger or more complex companies pay more, but you'll always know the cost before any work starts.
Your annual accounts are due to Companies House nine months after your accounting period ends. Corporation tax is due nine months and one day after the period ends, with the corporation tax return (CT600) due to HMRC twelve months after. Confirmation statements are due once a year. We track all your deadlines and remind you well in advance — you'll never miss one.
Yes, and it's much easier than people expect. We handle the entire handover — we contact your previous accountant, request your records and tax history, then register as your new agent with HMRC and Companies House. The whole switch typically takes 1-2 weeks and requires almost no effort from you. There's never a 'gap' where your company is unrepresented.
Usually yes, if you're a director taking dividends or any salary above the National Insurance threshold. As your accountants we typically include the director's self assessment within the company package, so it's all handled in one place rather than billed separately.
It almost always comes down to a mix of a small salary (up to the personal allowance or just below) and the rest as dividends. The exact optimal split changes each year as tax rates and thresholds shift, so this is something we review for you annually. There can also be other options like pension contributions, director's loan repayments or salary sacrifice — we'll talk through what fits your situation.
IR35 is the rule that determines whether a contractor working through a limited company is really self-employed or effectively an employee of their client. If you're caught by IR35, you pay tax as if you were an employee, which significantly reduces the benefit of being a limited company. The rules are complex, especially since 2021 when responsibility for determining status shifted in many cases. If you're a contractor we'll review your contracts and working practices and advise on your IR35 position.
