Startup Accounting FAQs
Should I set up as a sole trader or limited company?
This depends on your circumstances. Generally, a limited company becomes more tax-efficient when profits exceed around £30,000-£40,000 per year. Other factors include liability protection, tax planning flexibility, and administrative burden.
What expenses can I claim as a startup?
Startups can claim pre-trading expenses incurred up to 7 years before starting to trade. These include market research, website development, equipment purchases, professional fees, and training costs.
What is SEIS/EIS?
The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) are government schemes that give tax relief to investors who buy shares in your company. This makes it easier for startups to attract investment.
