If you’re considering starting a business, there’s a lot to think about – especially when it comes to finances, tax and compliance. From choosing the right structure (sole trader, partnership or limited company) to registering with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), keeping proper records and understanding your tax responsibilities, it’s important to get things right from the start. You may want to consider:

  • When and how to register for VAT
  • Setting up payroll if you’ll be taking on staff
  • Planning for Corporation Tax or Self Assessment
  • Claiming allowable expenses
  • Understanding what support and reliefs are available for new businesses

To help you navigate all of this, ask us for your free copy of our New Business Kit for 2025/26. This practical guide has been updated for the latest tax year and covers all the key financial, tax and accounting areas you need to consider when setting up a business. It’s designed to give you a clear overview, with straightforward explanations to help you feel more confident in your decisions.

If you’re in the early stages of planning – or even just testing an idea – it’s a great place to start.
