What accounting method should I use, Cash or Accrual?

Accounting has two main methods; the accrual method and the cash method. These approaches impact how you record certain line items like sales and debts on your financial statements. There are advantages and disadvantages of adapting one method over the other, and is largely based on your business’ future plans.

Do I need to register for PAYE (Payroll)

Even if you have only one employee or you are a sole Director employee you should be registered for PAYE with HMRC and make all the relevant RTI submissions.

Do I need to be VAT registered?

You are required by law to register for VAT if your business turnover exceeds the annual registration threshold. You can also register for VAT voluntarily if it is beneficial for your business.

Should I open a separate business bank account?

Unless you’re a sole trader, you must have a separate business bank account under the new company name.

In the case of Sole Traders, separating your personal and business funds is a wise decision, even if you aren’t required to do so. Mixing personal and business funds can cause you to file taxes inaccurately, become disorganized, and overspend.

How should I structure my startup business?

One of the most pivotal decisions you will make when starting your business is choosing your business structure. You can structure your business to be sole trader, partnership, limited company (LTD), limited liability partnership (LLp). The entity you choose impacts taxes, liability, your control, and how to pay yourself from your business.

Some business structures are more complicated to manage than others. You may have significant filing and reporting requirements, depending on how you structure your company. Your accountant/business advisor should be able to determine your ideal structure based on your business goals and by considering the pros & cons of each.
