Where to start?? been using umbrella but now want to go LTD

[Sockpuppet]

Go speak to a local accountant. Mine does £600+vat a year and has the benefit that she's 2 mins walk down the road should I need to sort anything out.

I have ~3 invoices in a month and ~4 out with payroll I do myself. Even by her own admission I'm not a complex set of accounts.

I work for one so I am bias but....

It is always worth speaking to a specialist contractor accountant.

Costs will vary so the important thing is to work out exactly what level of support you need and compare like for like.

Hi,

I have had a search for this, but I though it may be better to get some up to date advice, I have just got a new contract and I want to go LTD, I have been offered a package by C***hill K**ght, for £30+VAT week, as a newbie, what would the experienced people recommend to do?
I would like to maximise my income obviously and not get caught paying too much for basic services that I could do myself.My friend is training to be a management accountant currently, so can do the VAT, but I would really appreciate some help.
I would like to stay outside of IR35, I have read the details in 10 things to be wary of when signing a consultancy contract :: Contractor UK - Contracting News and Guides and im presuming that if I follow these rules, I "should" be pretty safe.

Thank you for your time and responses.

regards

Talk to a few of the specialist contractor accountants about your specific circumstances re IR35. I am sure any of them would be prepared to provide a free IR35 review of your contract.

I am with Intouch Accounting and for £75 a month they provide me a really good service. Ask for Craig.
