How We Help Sole Traders:

Starting out as a sole trader? We can prepare a business plan, establish sustainable goals and guide you with strategies to grow your business. We can assess the costs vs benefits of setting up as a sole trader or Limited company to help you make the right decision for your business and we will register you for Self-Assessment with HMRC.

Missing tax deadlines can lead to fines and penalties, but with us, that’s one less thing to worry about. We’ll ensure that your self-assessment tax return is completed accurately and submitted on time. We’ll also keep you up to date with your MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) obligations, making the process as smooth as possible. 

Find out more about our self-assessment services.

If you are VAT registered or operate within a CIS scheme, we can assist with your filing submissions and review calculations giving you confidence that the submissions are accurate. Ensuring clarity for your cashflow is important, so we will setup a system that ensures that all expenses are documented, processed and recorded in a timely manner to give you visibility and budget your cashflow needs. 


Knowing what you can claim as an expense is crucial to reducing your tax bill. We’ll guide you through allowable deductions like travel costs, home office expenses and business equipment. We also help you maximise your tax reliefs, such as capital allowances for larger purchases like vehicles and machinery as well as evaluating any R&D claims.

Check HMRC’s guide on allowable expenses.

Thinking about selling your business? We’ll provide you with an exit or handover strategy. This would include staffing arrangements, premises leases, identifying and valuing the business assets from which to determine a valuation estimate. We can work with other parties, such as lawyers and brokers when marketing the business and calculate the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on the disposal of your business assets. We will evaluate and take advantage of tax reliefs, such as Entrepreneurs’ Relief, to reduce your CGT bill.

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. We help you stay on top of your cash flow management with tools and systems that give you visibility over your finances, so you know exactly what’s coming in and going out. This would involve timely, robust and accurate data entry that is readily-accessible. This will provide clarity to judge your current and pending cashflow needs from which you can adjust budgets accordingly. We assist with budgeting and cashflow forecasting to establish your commitments from which you can plan and grow your business.
