Not sure how to set up your company correctly?
Forming a limited company takes about fifteen minutes online. Setting it up correctly — right structure, right share allocation, Corporation Tax registration, VAT threshold awareness, director loan account rules — takes considerably more thought. Most people only discover what they missed when the first filing deadline lands.
- ✕ Registered the company but unsure what to do with HMRC next
- ✕ No idea whether to register for VAT now or wait until you have to
- ✕ Nobody to ask whether sole trader or limited company was even the right call
What a properly formed company looks like
Companies House registration is the start, not the finish. Everything after it — HMRC enrolment, share structure, VAT decision, bank account setup, first payroll run — is where it either goes smoothly or quietly goes wrong. This is what the formation service covers.
- ✓ HMRC enrolment completed, deadlines known, nothing waiting to bite you
- ✓ VAT position assessed so you register when it makes sense, not by accident
- ✓ Structure reviewed before registration so you do not have to unpick it later
- ✓ Fixed monthly fee from £79 — all included, agreed upfront, no surprises
What clients say after getting started
People arrive not knowing what they need. They leave knowing exactly where they stand. That is largely the point.
Daniel was very helpful and patient with me when I had no clue what to do and spoke through everything with me and made it clear, couldn’t recommend him enough, thank you again.
Absolutely recommend Daniel for all and any accounts related matter. Would use his expertise again. He is the most amazing person, very professional, explaining every detail meticulously in order to finalise our accounts. A huge thank you Daniel.
What the company formation service covers
Formation is a single event. What comes after it — compliance, accounts, payroll, tax — runs every month. The service is built to handle both.
Companies House Registration
Your limited company is registered correctly with Companies House — right name, right SIC code, right share structure from the start. Memorandum and articles of association, registered office address and confirmation of incorporation are all taken care of. You receive your certificate of incorporation and know exactly what happens next.
Included as standardHMRC Enrolment and Tax Setup
Registration for Corporation Tax happens automatically after incorporation, but HMRC still needs to hear from you within three months of starting to trade. VAT registration, PAYE setup and Self Assessment enrolment for directors are assessed and handled based on your actual situation. You do not need to know which forms apply — that is the point.
Included as standardOngoing Compliance from Month One
Year-end accounts, Corporation Tax return, confirmation statement, director’s Self Assessment and payroll are all covered under a fixed monthly fee. Your first filing deadlines are tracked from day one, so nothing is left to discover later. Xero is set up and connected to your bank feed so the books are current from the outset.

Why Paignton businesses choose Daniel
Company formation is straightforward. Knowing what to do with a properly formed company — that takes experience across real businesses.
Twenty Years Across Real Businesses
Daniel has worked in airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — sectors where company structure, cash flow and tax efficiency actually matter day to day. When you ask whether to operate as a sole trader or a limited company, the answer comes from experience, not a flowchart. You get the same advice a senior hire would give, without the salary.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
Formation throws up questions constantly in the first few weeks — what account do director drawings go through, do I need to register for VAT yet, when is my first filing due. Waiting days for answers creates decisions by default. DG Accountancy is known for same-day replies precisely because that is when the answers are most useful.
Plain English from the First Conversation
Director’s loan accounts, memorandum of association, confirmation statements — these are real things with real consequences, but none of them need to be explained in jargon. Daniel explains what each obligation means for your specific company and what you actually need to do about it. You come away understanding your position, not just trusting that someone else does.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients go from initial conversation to a registered, HMRC-enrolled, Xero-connected company within a week. Here is how it works.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, what you plan to trade as and whether a limited company is the right vehicle. No sales pressure — just an honest assessment of structure, timing and what the formation will actually involve for your situation.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
You get a written quote covering formation and your chosen monthly package. Everything is agreed upfront — what is included, what the monthly fee is from month one, and what the 50% promotional discount covers in the first three months. No ambiguity about what you are paying for.
Formation and HMRC enrolment
Companies House registration, Corporation Tax enrolment, VAT and PAYE setup where needed — all handled. Your Xero account is connected to your business bank feed so the books are live from trading day one. Most clients are fully set up within a week of instructing.
Ongoing compliance, nothing missed
Your deadlines are tracked, your accounts are prepared and filed, and your tax position is reviewed proactively. You focus on building the business. Accounting sits in the background doing what it should — running quietly, flagging anything that needs your attention, and never landing a surprise on your desk.
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
Things people ask before forming a company
Do I actually need a limited company, or would sole trader work just as well?
It depends on your turnover, your tax position and your appetite for personal liability. For contractors and sole traders earning above roughly £30,000 to £35,000 net profit, limited company status often offers meaningful tax savings through the combination of a salary and dividends. Below that threshold, the additional compliance burden sometimes outweighs the benefit. The discovery call is specifically for working this out before you commit to either structure.
What does company formation cost and what is included in the monthly fee?
The formation itself is included within your first month’s fee. Monthly packages for limited companies start from £79 per month, with 50% off the first three months under the current promotion. The Start package covers year-end accounts, Corporation Tax return and Ltd registration. VAT, payroll and Self Assessment are either included or available as add-ons depending on the tier. Everything is set out in writing before you sign anything.
I have already registered the company myself but I am not sure what to do next — can you help from here?
Yes, and this is a fairly common situation. The registration is done but HMRC enrolment, VAT decisions, share structure review and Xero setup may not be. A catch-up review of what has been done and what still needs doing is straightforward, and onboarding into ongoing compliance from that point is exactly what the monthly service covers.
Is there a minimum contract or long-term commitment?
No minimum term beyond the initial month. If the arrangement is not working for any reason, you give notice and receive all your records and data in a transferable format. The books are yours. Nothing is held back and nothing is owed beyond the current billing period.
What happens to my company’s first accounting period — it is often longer than twelve months?
A company’s first accounting period runs from the date of incorporation to the accounting reference date, which Companies House sets automatically. If that period exceeds twelve months, HMRC requires two Corporation Tax returns for the first period. This is tracked from day one as part of the service, so the correct deadlines are logged and nothing is missed through that slightly odd first year.
When should I think about VAT registration as a new limited company?
Compulsory registration applies once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling twelve-month period. Voluntary registration can make sense earlier — for example if your customers are VAT-registered businesses and you have significant input VAT to reclaim. The VAT position is reviewed as part of the formation process so you understand the threshold, the timing and the implications before you start trading.
