Starting a business? We’ll help you set up properly — and avoid common mistakes.

Thinking of forming a limited company or becoming self-employed? The way you set things up at the start can have a big impact on your finances, tax obligations, and how smoothly your business runs.

At Straight Ledger Bookkeeping & Accountancy, we help new business owners get off on the right foot with a fully managed company formation service — plus ongoing advice and support to guide you as you grow.

We take care of the paperwork, explain the legal bits in plain English, and set you up for long-term success.

What’s Included?

Our company formation service includes:

• 🏢 Registering your new limited company with Companies House
• 📄 Creating your Memorandum & Articles of Association
• 👤 Registering company directors, shareholders, and company address
• 💼 Setting up your HMRC accounts (PAYE, Corporation Tax, VAT if required)
• 🧾 Advice on tax registrations, responsibilities & deadlines
• 📋 Guidance on how to pay yourself tax-efficiently
• 💬 Support choosing a company name and understanding your obligations
• 📲 Setup with QuickBooks to get your accounts digital from day one

We can also provide your first Confirmation Statement when due, and guide you through your first set of accounts.

Why Choose Us?

Starting a business can be overwhelming — especially when you're trying to get your products or services off the ground at the same time.

We’ll take the stress out of the admin, help you understand what you actually need to do, and be here to support you well beyond day one.

We don’t just set up your company — we stick around to help it succeed.

Who Is This For?

We help:

• First-time business owners
• Sole traders looking to incorporate
• Freelancers and contractors
• Landlords, consultants, tradespeople and creatives
• Anyone who wants to start a limited company with confidence

Even if you're not sure if limited company status is the right move, we’ll talk you through the pros and cons first — honestly and clearly.

Ongoing Support

Once you’re formed, we offer fixed monthly accounting packages tailored to your business, which can include bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, tax returns, and more — so you can grow without worrying about the paperwork.

You’ll never be left on your own to figure it out.
