Not sure where to start with going limited?
Forming a company is straightforward on paper — until you are staring at the Companies House application wondering whether your SIC code matters, whether you need to register for VAT immediately, and how to pay yourself without an unexpected tax bill. Most people either rush through the setup without understanding what they have created, or delay indefinitely because no one has explained it clearly. Neither option is particularly good for your business.
- Uncertain whether to incorporate or stay self-employed right now
- No clear plan for salary, dividends or Corporation Tax from day one
- Worried about missing HMRC registration deadlines after formation
What a clean setup looks like
The company gets registered correctly, the tax structure gets explained before you commit to it, and every HMRC obligation is in place from day one. No scramble to catch up six months later.
- Incorporation vs sole trader decision walked through before any filing
- Director salary and dividend strategy agreed upfront, not discovered later
- Corporation Tax, PAYE and VAT registrations handled at the right time
- All of this under one fixed monthly fee — agreed before work starts
What new business owners say
From sole traders going limited to contractors setting up for the first time — clients consistently say the same things: clear, patient, and no jargon.
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.
Professional service. This company does my accounts every year and i never have to worry about it. Speedy as well. I am a very happy customer.
Everything a new limited company needs
From the initial Companies House filing through to year-end accounts and Corporation Tax returns, the full compliance picture is covered under one monthly fee.
Company Registration and Setup
Your company is registered at Companies House with the correct SIC codes, officer details and registered office address. Corporation Tax registration with HMRC follows automatically, with VAT and PAYE registrations handled at the right point — not by default on day one if they are not yet needed.
Included as standardDirector Tax Structure From Day One
How you pay yourself as a director affects both your personal tax and your company’s Corporation Tax position. The salary and dividend split is modelled before you start drawing, so your take-home is optimised within HMRC’s rules from the outset — not adjusted after an unexpected tax bill.
Included in monthly packagesOngoing Compliance, Nothing Missed
Year-end accounts, the CT600 Corporation Tax return, confirmation statements and Self Assessment are all filed accurately and on time. You receive a reminder before each deadline, not after. Compliance runs in the background while you focus on the business.
Covered in Operate, Grow and Scale plansConsistently five stars across every engagement
Sole traders, limited company directors, contractors and landlords — the feedback tends to cover the same ground: fast, clear and worth every penny.
Transparent Fees, Fast and Thorough Work
“Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel to anyone needing reliable accountancy support, particularly where deadlines really matter.”
Excellent, Quick and Efficient Probate Accounts

Why Torbay businesses choose Daniel
There is no shortage of accountants who will file your forms. Fewer will explain what the forms mean, answer quickly, and flag problems before they become expensive.
Formation Advice Grounded in Experience
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment over 20 years. That breadth means he understands the practical implications of your company structure — not just the filing requirements. You get a considered recommendation on incorporation, not a default answer.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
When you are setting up a company, questions come up constantly. DG Accountancy is known for fast replies and clear communication. You will not be left waiting three days for an answer to a straightforward question about your registered address or SIC code.
Plain English Throughout
Share capital, articles of association, director’s loan account — these terms matter, and you should understand them before you sign. Daniel explains what each element means and why it has been set up a certain way, so you leave the onboarding conversation knowing how your own company works.
Up and running in four steps
Most Torbay clients are fully incorporated and onboarded within a week. The process is straightforward and most of the work sits with Daniel, not with you.

What people usually want to know
Do you handle the full formation process, or just point me to Companies House?
The full process. Daniel prepares and submits the Companies House application, advises on share structure and articles of association, and handles the Corporation Tax registration with HMRC that follows incorporation. You are not handed a link and left to it — the formation is done for you, with each decision explained before it is made.
What does company formation cost, and what does ongoing support look like?
Company formation is included in the limited company packages — there is no separate formation fee. The Start package begins from £79 per month (with 50% off for the first three months), covering year-end accounts, Corporation Tax and the registered office. Higher tiers add VAT, payroll, Self Assessment and management accounts. Every quote is fixed and agreed in writing before work starts.
I have been trading as a sole trader for a while — can you handle the switch to limited?
Yes, and it is a common situation. Switching involves closing your sole trader status with HMRC, forming the new company and transferring activity across — there are also tax considerations around the timing that are worth addressing before you act rather than after. Daniel will walk through the transition with you and handle the relevant filings on both sides.
Is there a long-term contract? What happens if I decide to leave?
There is no long-term contract. Month-to-month notice applies. If you decide to move on, your records are kept up to date and handed over cleanly — no obstruction, no exit fee. The aim is that you stay because the service is worth it, not because leaving is difficult.
Can you advise on whether I should be a sole trader or a limited company?
That is usually the first conversation. The answer depends on your turnover, your tax position, your liability exposure and your plans for the business. There is no universal correct answer, and Daniel will give you an honest assessment rather than a default recommendation. For some people at their current stage, sole trader is the right answer. For others, the Corporation Tax saving makes incorporation worthwhile immediately.
How soon will I know what my Corporation Tax bill is likely to be?
With current bookkeeping in Xero, your profit position is visible throughout the year — not just at year-end. On the Operate, Grow and Scale packages you receive quarterly reviews or management accounts, so your estimated Corporation Tax liability is visible well in advance of the filing deadline. Surprises are considerably less likely when the books are current.
