Sole trader or Limited Company?
If you're just starting out, working as a sole trader can be simple and flexible. But as your income grows or you begin to hire staff, a limited company might offer better tax efficiency and protection.
VAT
Registered?
You only have to register when your turnover hits £90,000 (as of 2024), but there are cases where registering early makes sense — especially in aesthetics or if you’re working with high-cost suppliers.
Payroll
and R&D?
Got staff? You’ll need to set up payroll. Investing in new treatments, training, or systems? You might be eligible for an R&D tax claim.
You don’t need to know it all — you just need the right support at the right time. And that’s what we’re here for.
We can help with:
Choosing or changing your business structure
Registering your company
Setting up payroll and VAT
Sorting previous or current year accounts
Navigating financial difficulties
Claiming back money through R&D
Staying compliant while you grow
