Starting up a Company
When your starting a business it is crucial to start in the right way. Setting up a company can be daunting, exciting and very rewarding. At McManus Hall we are experts in setting up new companies and many of our clients have been with us from their first day of trading and even before. There is lots to consider and each company needs to be tailored to suit therefore we strongly advise an initial meeting.
During a free consultancy session we will advise you on the most suitable trading vehicle for your new venture. This includes being a sole trader, partnership, limited company a Community Interest Company (CIC) or LLP.
As we have helped many companies we are well placed to advise where to go to secure start up funding. A company may be eligible for grants and assistance to get started and being based in Consett means we have clients in Tyne and Wear, Co Durham and Teeside therefore we know who can help you best in those crucial early stages.
We can also advice you on keeping records and which accounting software is best for you. We regularly use SAGE, Quickbooks and Kashflow as well as bespoke accounting software. We can even set up Excel spreadsheets or manual cashbooks if it suits your business.
Furthermore we will assist you to register as self employed with HM Revenue & Customs if required.
