    • Start-Up Business Accounts in Stoke-on-Trent

    Getting Your Business Off to the Right Start

     

    Starting your own business can be daunting. You’ve likely decided to ‘go it alone’ because you love what you do and you’re brilliant at it too.

    But if you’re like most start-ups – you probably didn’t give much thought to the additional skills needed to actually run a business.

    Keeping your accounts in order isn’t just good practice; it’s essential from day one. Even as a start-up, you can’t afford to neglect accurate bookkeeping, annual accounts submissions, and paying the right amount of tax. HMRC won’t accept ‘I wasn’t aware’ as a valid excuse.

    Why Start-Ups Need Professional Accountancy Support

    Many of our clients come to us after struggling with financial management. The truth is that taxation, expenses, and payroll can be complex and confusing, especially when trying to focus on what you do best.

    At Key Accountancy Services in Stoke-on-Trent, we believe accountancy support should begin when your business does. We can:

    • Advise on the most tax-efficient business structure based on your personal circumstances and growth forecasts
    • Ensure you’re set up correctly from the outset, avoiding costly mistakes
    • Help you implement systems that grow with your business
    • Provide regular check-ins to monitor your tax position and financial health
    • Catch and correct rookie mistakes before they become major problems

    Digital Accountancy for Small Businesses

    With Making Tax Digital now in effect, embracing electronic accounting from day one isn’t just sensible – it’s necessary. The right digital systems mean you can manage your finances efficiently from anywhere, at any time.

    We recommend innovative platforms like Xero and FreeAgent, which simplify bookkeeping, invoicing, and cash flow management.

    Cost-saving tip: For start-ups watching every penny, FreeAgent is available at no cost with business accounts from NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Ulster Bank, or Mettle – making the software an excellent choice for cost-conscious entrepreneurs.

    Our team will:

    • Train you to use these tools effectively
    • Help you log expenses correctly
    • Set up professional invoicing
    • Automate routine financial tasks
    • Monitor your finances in real-time

    • Tax planning advice
    • Support with pensions and PAYE
    • Strategies to mitigate future tax liabilities
    • Guidance on efficient business structures

    • Guide you through company formation
