Discuss it with us

Nicklin Business Starter is part of ICAEW Business Advice Service (BAS), which means we are committed to discussing the needs of your start-up business at an initial meeting for no charge.

We appreciate that this may be the first time you have met an accountant, but don’t worry, contact us today to arrange a no obligation meeting. This is an opportunity to receive an unbiased view of whether the business is viable, as well as to discuss what you need to keep in order to prepare your business accounts and tax returns, and all aspects of the business’s financial wellbeing.

You may have more questions after the meeting, or may want something to refer back to. No problem – that is why we have developed A Guide to Financial, Tax and Accounting Considerations of Starting a Successful Business. This New Business Kit will be given to you free of charge as a thank you for meeting with us, and is part of our commitment to helping your businesses get off on the correct footing.

One important consideration when starting in business, which will be discussed at the meeting, is choosing the trading structure that best suits your needs – whether that is operating as a sole trader or incorporating as a limited company.

This table highlights the main requirements for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders. However, all these options have their advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to speak to us before you make the final decision.
