Starting a New Business?

Published on June 15, 2010 in General updates. 0 Comments

Looking to start up on your own?

When you make the decision from employee to business owner there are so many things to consider like should you be a sole-trader or if you go into business with another person, should you be a partnership or do you form a Limited company.

What do I need to know?

You also will take on many new responsibilities like which type of advertising to take out, employing and when necessary firing staff, employment law and you have to be aware of legislation changes. There are obviously other things to think about for example will you need an office or warehouse space or do you work from home?

Is that it then?

On top of all this you also have to try and find customers for your product or service and just when you thought it couldn’t get any harder there’s bookkeeping to cope with too. This fact sheet is designed to give you an insight of the records you will need to keep and which expenses you are allowed to deduct from your business’s profit. Obviously, as a book-keeping company ourselves, we would advise you to employ the services of a qualified and reliable book-keeper.

What records should I keep for my business?

Back to basics

Published on April 13, 2010 in General updates. 0 Comments

Many small business owners are working around the clock trying to meet their clients’ needs, their suppliers demands and HMRC’s demands too !  It’s not just because we are in the midst of what the media advise us is a “credit crunch” – it’s because they want to be as successful as possible in whatever climate the business world is in.  Client retention is paramount along with cash flow, credit control, VAT returns  – A sign of a good business owner though, is knowing when to ask for help. By contracting out or delegating some of the burden of the administration and accounting duties – owners soon realise that they can then focus on growing their business.

PCBS can deal with all your bookkeeping, credit control, sales and supplier invoices, VAT returns, PAYE and payroll – phone us today 0800 692 2626 for a free consultation and let us take away the strain of bookkeeping

VAT Online Compulsory from April 2010

Published on January 19, 2010 in General updates. 1 Comment

From April 1st 2010, if your company has an annual turnover of £100,000 or more excluding VAT you will have to submit your VAT return online and pay your VAT electronically.

 If you are an existing client of PCBS then you will be familiar with this procedure already as we complete this transaction for most of our clients. If however you are unfamiliar or unsure that this is something you would feel confident in, then give us a call and we will submit your returns for you. All you will need to do is authorise us to complete the work. We can then carry this out regularly for you without your input, so you can carry on running your business instead of lying awake at night worrying about the VAT return !
