Small businesses are often unsure whether to seek accounts and business advice because they are afraid it will cost too much or that these services are only designed for larger firms.

At RBS Chartered Accountants, we cater for sole traders and partnerships in much the same way as any other business: with a personal and professional service that puts your unique needs first.

At your initial chat with RBS Chartered Accountants, we'll assess where your business is now and, crucially, where you want it to go. We will talk you through the advantages of each course, and simplify the complex and ever-changing tax legislation.

Our team of accountants, based in our London Docklands or West End office, will help you decide:

Why operate as a sole trader or partnership?

The pros

You can get your business off the ground straight away and start making your dream a reality.

The cons

With everything else you have to think about, the business and administrative side of your venture could end up getting overlooked.

RBS Chartered Accountants can:

  • Enable you to keep accurate tax records right from the start
  • Explain exactly how much VAT, income tax and National Insurance you need to pay
  • Help you to meet every tax deadline
  • Set things right if you have already started out and the financial side of your business hasn’t gone entirely to plan

We may even be able to save you money during the process!

RBS Chartered Accountantscan take care of as much or as little as you want us to. From simple bookkeeping to complex financial and tax planning, just tell us what you need us to do and we will do it. We know all of our clients by name and work hard to ensure that your business thrives.
