Start-Up Support
Forming a company
One of the first decisions you’ll need to make when setting up a company is the type of structure that fits your business goals. Being able to discuss the pros and cons of Sole Trader or a Limited Company with an accounting expert is crucial to ensure you take the right decision.
We’ll provide you with tailored advice, so you can make a truly informed decision.
Forming a company can be a minefield of paperwork. Fortunately, with our accounting for start-up service, we’ll take all the hassle out of forming a company by helping you complete all the paperwork and registering your company with you. This means you can spend more time on planning and running your business.

Payroll, VAT and more
VAT. Payroll. Pensions. Company Accounts. It can be difficult staying on top of everything you need to register and submit information for. We’ll analyse your business, providing advice on whether you need to register for VAT or not. We’ll also set-up new employees on payroll, and ensure pension contributions are set-up in line with government rules. We’ll also keep an up-to-date picture of your Company Accounts, meaning they can be submitted on-time to HMRC, ensuring you avoid any penalties.
Accounting Software
As a Xero Silver Champion partner, we’re the perfect partner for any start-up business. Xero’s cloud accounting software provides a real-time view of your business’s financials, meaning we can provide proactive financial support. Log expenses, send invoices, manage payroll and much more, from any device. A Xero subscription is included within our Accounting for start-ups package.
Proactive accounting support
Once you have a business formed, accounting software in place and you’re fully registered, we’ll become your long-term financial partner. Of course, we’ll ensure you remain compliant with your business and tax obligations, but our support runs far deeper than that. We’ll provide regular accounts updates, and identify financial and business opportunities for you to exploit. In short, you can rely on iFinance Department to manage your finances, whilst you manage your business.
