Sound familiar?
Not sure you’re setting up your company the right way?
Registering a limited company takes about ten minutes on the Companies House website. Getting it right takes considerably longer. Wrong SIC code, muddled share structure, missing HMRC notifications — these are all fixable, but fixing them later costs time and money. Most founders only discover the gaps when something downstream goes wrong.
- Unsure whether a limited company is even the right structure for you
- Guessing at SIC codes, share classes or director loan account implications
- No clear picture of what compliance obligations kick in immediately after registration
What a proper setup looks like
Company formation with DG Accountancy means the registration is handled correctly, the structure fits your plans, and you know exactly what is due and when from the moment you are incorporated. Nothing is left to figure out later.
- Honest conversation about structure before anything is filed — so you register the right way
- Company registered with the correct SIC code, share structure and director details from the start
- HMRC Corporation Tax, PAYE and VAT (where applicable) all notified and confirmed
- Fixed monthly fee from day one — no surprise bills when the first deadlines arrive
What clients say about getting set up
Straightforward, responsive support from the first conversation — whether you are registering your first company or restructuring an existing one.
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.
Everything included in company formation
One fixed fee covers the registration, the HMRC setup and your Xero onboarding — so you are compliant and operational from the day your company number arrives.
Companies House Registration
Your company is incorporated with the correct name, registered office, SIC code, director details and share structure. Daniel will advise on the right structure before anything is filed — including ordinary versus alphabet shares where relevant. You receive your certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, and company number, ready for banking.
Included as standardHMRC Notifications and Secretarial
After incorporation, HMRC needs to know about your new company within three months. Daniel handles the Corporation Tax registration, PAYE setup (if you are taking a salary as director) and VAT registration where your turnover warrants it — or where voluntary registration is worth considering. Confirmation statement filings are also available on an ongoing basis.
Compliance from day oneXero Setup and Ongoing Support
Your Xero account is configured with your chart of accounts, bank feed connected and invoicing ready to go. If you are moving on to an ongoing package, bookkeeping, payroll and year-end accounts are all handled from the same platform. Most new clients are fully set up within a week of instructing.
Cloud-ready from the startConsistent results across different clients
Sole traders, directors and contractors — the experience is the same: clear communication, fast turnaround and work done thoroughly the first time.
Responsive, Fast, And No Corners Cut
“Daniel was extremely responsive, clear, and professional throughout. He understood exactly what the lender required, turned everything around very quickly without cutting corners. Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately.”
Self-Employed Tax Handled Without The Headache
“Huge thanks to Daniel for helping ourselves with our taxes! Being self employed means we all have to do this ourselves which is just not possible on top of our work load. Thanks again! We will be using you again!”
Great Advice, Better Books, Money Saved
“Daniel was very helpful with my books and tax return. He offered great advise and insight in how to manage my books better and more efficiently. His knowledge in tax law and what can be used for expenses really helped with saving money where I could.”
What makes this different from a formation agent
A formation agent files the paperwork. An accountant makes sure the paperwork is right, explains what it means, and is still there when the first deadline arrives.
Structure Advice Before You Register
Choosing the wrong share structure or director arrangement at incorporation creates problems that are expensive to unpick later. Before anything is filed, Daniel will talk through your plans — salary, dividends, business partners, future investment — and make sure the structure fits. That conversation is included, not charged separately.
Compliance Handled Beyond the Certificate
Incorporation is the start, not the finish. Most founders do not realise how quickly HMRC deadlines arrive — Corporation Tax registration must be done within three months of starting to trade. Daniel handles the notifications, sets up the compliance calendar and makes sure nothing slips through. You will not discover a missed obligation months later.
Direct Access, Not a Handoff Queue
You work with Daniel throughout — the same person who advises on structure, files the registration and sets up your Xero account. No junior passing your file around. Questions get answered the day you ask them, which matters when you are trying to open a business bank account and need documentation in a hurry.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients have a company number, HMRC setup and Xero ready within a week of the initial call. Here is how the process works.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business plans, your intended structure and whether a limited company is the right move right now. No sales pitch — just an honest assessment of what makes sense for your situation and what the formation process involves.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
You will receive a clear, written quote covering the formation and any ongoing services you want included. Everything is agreed upfront. There are no hourly rates and no add-on surprises when the first compliance obligation arrives.
Company registered and HMRC notified
Daniel handles the Companies House filing, the HMRC Corporation Tax registration and any other notifications required for your structure. You receive your certificate of incorporation and a clear summary of what is due and when — no decoding required.
Running, compliant, and supported
Your Xero account is set up, your compliance calendar is in place, and you have an accountant you can call when questions come up — which they will in year one. Your first accounts, first tax return and first confirmation statement are all on the radar well in advance.
“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.”
Things people usually ask before getting started
I am not sure whether to set up as a sole trader or limited company — can you help me decide before I register anything?
Yes, and that conversation is included before anything is filed. The right structure depends on your expected profits, how you intend to pay yourself, your appetite for administrative overhead and whether you anticipate bringing in investors or partners. Daniel will run through the numbers for your specific situation and give you a clear recommendation — not a generic answer.
What does company formation cost, and what is included in the fee?
Company formation is included in all four limited company packages — Start, Operate, Grow and Scale — starting from £79 per month, with 50% off for the first three months. The formation covers the Companies House registration, HMRC Corporation Tax notification and Xero setup. Everything is agreed in writing upfront, so there are no add-on charges when the paperwork arrives.
I have already registered a company myself but I am not sure I set it up correctly — can you review it?
This is a common situation. Daniel can review your existing company setup — share structure, SIC code, registered office and any HMRC registrations already in place — and identify anything that needs correcting before it causes a problem. Companies House amendments are straightforward in most cases. It is considerably easier to fix early than after accounts have been filed.
Am I tied in for a minimum term once I sign up?
No minimum contract. If the service is not working for you after three months, you can leave — and you will take a properly registered company, current Xero records and all your filed documents with you. The goal is to be worth keeping, not to make leaving difficult.
What SIC code should I use, and does it matter?
SIC codes are used by Companies House to categorise your business activity and appear on your public record. The wrong code is not catastrophic, but it can affect how banks and lenders view your company and occasionally causes issues with specific industry schemes. Daniel will confirm the right code — or the most appropriate combination if your business spans multiple activities — before the registration is submitted.
When do I need to start paying Corporation Tax, and when is the first return due?
Corporation Tax becomes payable from the date your company starts trading, not from incorporation. Your first accounting period runs for up to 12 months, and the CT600 return is due 12 months after the end of that period — with payment due nine months and one day after the period ends. Daniel sets out your key dates at onboarding so the first deadline is never a surprise.
