Starting a Business? We’re Here to Help
Starting a new business is exciting, but it also comes with important financial and legal responsibilities. Most people begin a business because they have a strong idea and the drive to make it succeed -not because they are experts in tax, accounting or financial regulations. The good news is that you do not need to manage these challenges alone.
At Zantis & Co Accountants, we help new businesses across Brighton, Saltdean and the surrounding Sussex area start on the right footing with clear advice, practical support and reliable financial guidance.
With over 25 years of experience, we work closely with entrepreneurs, sole traders and company directors to ensure their business begins with the right structure, strong financial planning and full compliance with HMRC requirements.
How We Help New Businesses
We provide practical advice and support across all the key areas involved in starting a business.
Choosing the Right Business Structure
One of the first and most important decisions when starting a business is choosing the right structure. We can advise whether operating as a sole trader, partnership or limited company is most suitable for your situation, helping you understand the tax implications and responsibilities of each option.
Tax Planning from the Start
Good tax planning from the beginning can save significant time and money later. We help you understand which taxes apply to your business and ensure everything is set up correctly from day one.
Business Plans and Raising Finance
If you require funding for your new venture, we can assist with preparing business plans, cashflow projections, budgets and financial forecasts to support loan or investment applications.
Bookkeeping and Accounting Systems
Keeping accurate records is essential for every business. We can help you establish a clear bookkeeping system and advise on suitable accounting software to make managing your finances straightforward.
Business Planning and Growth
Beyond the initial launch, we support businesses as they grow. Our advice helps you plan for the future, manage cashflow and make informed financial decisions.
HMRC Registrations and Compliance
When starting a business, you must notify HM Revenue & Customs within three months of becoming self-employed. We take care of the registration process and ensure all required forms are submitted correctly to avoid penalties.
Company Formation
If you decide to operate through a limited company, we can manage the entire company formation process, including submitting the required documentation to Companies House.
VAT Registration
If your business needs to register for VAT, we can advise whether registration is appropriate and handle the process on your behalf.
Start Your Business on the Right Footing
Getting professional advice at the start of your business can save considerable time, stress and expense later on.
If you are planning to start a business and would like guidance from an experienced Brighton accountant, we would be happy to help.
