Who we help

Small Businesses

Small businesses and companies in the start-up phase are limited in many ways, and finance is one of them. They need to keep expenses and the tax bill down while making sure they stay compliant. We ensure that our clients will not have any unwanted legal and compliance hassles from HMRC, Companies House and debt collection agencies later.

How We Can Help You

Small businesses are rarely in a position to hire expensive lawyers and accountants for basic accounting and company secretarial work. Harrison Accountants helps small businesses run successfully in the following ways:

  • Initial consultation on what form of business to choose (sole trader, partnership or a company)
  • Business plan, marketing research and financial forecasting
  • Liaising with banks for company bank accounts and advising your capital structure
  • Registered office service – you can run your business from home until it has a sizeable client base. In the meantime, we can act as your registered office and receive your correspondence
  • Payroll advice and dividend planning – we suggest the most tax- and NI-efficient pay structure, and how to draw company dividends tax-efficiently
  • Everyday accountancy services such as bookkeeping, VAT, Statutory Accounts preparation and filing, corporation tax and self-assessment.
