Why this page is not a generic homepage.
Starting is a rush of names, logos and a first invoice. The unglamorous work (bank, records, VAT watch, a vehicle that still makes sense in month nine) is what we take. New businesses in Lancashire and Cheshire, and anywhere we can reach online.
Countplus acts for new businesses from Nelson and Warrington, and online across the UK. Same-day reply before 4pm. A named accountant, not a rotating queue. Typical packages from £59/month, confirmed before we start.
What usually went wrong
What new businesses tell us on the first call.
Every one of these is fixable. Most of them are fixable in the first month.
- I opened the wrong kind of bank account
- Personal and business mixed from week two.
- I incorporated because it sounded grown-up
- Then I paid myself like a sole trader anyway.
- I do not know what to keep
- HMRC’s record rules are dull. Penalties are not.

Questions from new businesses
No. The cheapest time to set this up is before the first invoice.
Yes. Employment plus a trade is a normal first year.
