Business start-ups

Gee Coopers works with clients from the very beginning throughout the growth of their businesses, adapting services as and when necessary. We can draw upon diverse experience gained from involvement across a broad range of businesses we can work in partnership with you to develop your business to its full potential.

Trading vehicle

The initial most important aspect of a start-up is choosing the suitable trading vehicle for your business and having the right firm to advise you accordingly, be it a limited company, partnership or limited liability partnership (LLP).

Compliance

The next steps will be to develop a business plan with financial projections, after which we can help clients’ approach the right bank and open the most suitable bank accounts and advise on suitable mandates for cheque signatories. All necessary compliance matters will be undertaken too as will the establishment of the right accounting systems, procedures and internal controls.

VAT

In any business deal or start-up you need to consider the VAT consequences. To avoid the sting of retrospective charges and penalties it is essential to obtain comprehensive VAT advice. Gee Coopers is committed to minimising VAT costs to clients, offering skilled advice on registration, compliance and planning.

Payroll

Providing a bespoke service, we tailor the payment of wages and salaries on a weekly or monthly basis to clients’ individual needs. Given details of the company’s employees, the service is structured accordingly with relevant compliance matters dealt with alongside the provision of necessary documentation to employees, directors and bookkeepers.

Bookkeeping and management accounting

Many businesses are unable to support the high cost of establishing a proper bookkeeping department and management accounting system. Gee Coopers specialises in assessing individual clients’ needs then recommending and implementing the appropriate level of service. From providing cashflow forecasting and analysis of financial results to preparing cheques for approval and liaising with banks, we are experts in delivering a total service at a fraction of the cost of an internal accounts department.

We can also advise on the selection of accounting software.
