Business Structures

The simplest form of a business structure is a sole trader. However, even then there are things to consider such as VAT registration and setting up a PAYE scheme. We can advise and help with these requirements and let you get on with making your business a success. If you have chosen to go into business with a friend or colleague then you will form a partnership. Similar in nature to a sole trader but you will be best served by having a partnership agreement at the outset.

As the business grows the next step might be to form a limited company. A separate legal entity in its own right, the company is far more complex. We can clearly explain what it means to run a company and outline the statutory obligations that the shareholders and directors face.

Finally, for larger or more diverse businesses, group structures play an important part to plan for tax reasons, safeguard assets or record the performance of dissimilar activities.

At Harris Bassett we have experience of all types of business operation and can advise what is most appropriate for a client’s particular circumstances. Contact Nick Bassett or David Davies.

I have found the people who work at Harris Bassett to be consistently friendly, sincere and efficient. They have prepared my taxation returns for five years now and the way they interact with me has never changed. They have always returned phone calls in person, answered emails promptly and sent my taxation return to the taxation department  in good time. I have never thought of asking any one else to prepare my taxation return even though I live a very long way away from their office and have many accountants in the area where I live who are close by because I know I would be extremely lucky to ever find another firm who is as good in all respects as Harris Bassett.
