Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

First, we’ll help you make the decision about what kind of incorporation is best for you. Then we’ll make it happen. We’ll run some simple checks to get you validated, and then set you up with all the legalities, including with HMRC and Companies House.

How long does it take to set up?

We can set you up with Skytax online accounting straight away and incorporate your business in around 24 hours. Business bank accounts can take a little longer – up to a week – but we’ll use that time to advise and prepare you so that you’ll be ready to fly!

I already have an accountant. Can I switch?

It’s easy and effortless to switch to Skytax. All you have to do is sign up with us and then sit back and relax while you let us do the rest. We’ll transfer over everything that needs to be transferred.

I’ve got an issue. Can you help me?

If you’ve got a business problem, we can help you solve it. Whether it’s late payers, cash flow problems, corporation tax issues, royalties or a host of other specific concerns, we have the expertise and experience to help you fix it.

How do I deal with IR35?

It’s important to be IR35 compliant and we’ll review your situation and advise if your work falls inside or outside the regulations. You’ll have peace of mind and we’ll deal with all the paperwork and filing.

What does it cost?

Our prices start at just ?50 per month for a wide range of accountancy services, including our real-time simple-to-use online accounting software, Skytax. We offer add-on services but all our prices are transparent and open. There are no hidden charges.

Sole trader, umbrella company or a limited company? I can’t decide.

Every client is different and what is good for one might not be good for another. This is why we take pride in finding out all about you, your business activities, culture and goals so that we can assess which type of business structure is best for you. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of the types but whichever you choose, you’ll be in safe hands. And once you’ve decided, we’ll set it up for you.
