Accounts and Legal

Keeping on top of your legal obligations is something that is often hard to do when growing your small business. Our team of legal consultants and employment law solicitors are ready to help setup and maintain all the required procedures and policies regarding human resources, health and safety at work and pension contributions, providing complete company secretarial services and making sure that our Clients comply with their legal obligations at all times.

As pension scheme rules are changing, we can guide small business owners through the steps required to comply with the new requirements for company enrollment in the pension scheme, as well as providing sound tax advice on how to gain favourable tax treatment on their personal pension contributions.

Our fixed-fee HR helpline is especially designed to offer constant legal support and advice regarding the employment law, company legal obligations and how to best respond to occasional difficult employment situations. Our employment law solicitors can guide business owners through the procedures for dealing with capability, gross misconduct or redundancy as well as providing practical advice designed to resolve the situation. Additionally, our Clients have online access to our easy-to-use redundancy and maternity pay calculators, as well as very useful templates, model letters and procedural guidance through our Commercial Managers. 

We have an integrated approach to tax returns, helping small business owners and entrepreneurs keep the right balance between company and personal taxation, allowing them to optimise their cash flow and release cash from the business in the most tax efficient way.

Our team of specialist tax consultants help small businesses keep their returns bill to a minimum, by carefully analysing and making the most out of exemptions and allowances available for corporation tax calculations and by handling VAT returns and self assessment returns in a very cost-effective and efficient manner.

Our tax consultants will also offer comprehensive and professional tax advice, finding the most tax efficient solutions for drawing income as a salary or a dividend and making the most out of tax breaks provided by paying a proportion of income into a personal pension. Additionally, they are able to provide small business owners with the best tax planning solutions to suit specific contexts; whether there are Inheritance tax returns or Capital Gains tax returns to be considered, our tax consultants will make sure they are kept to a minimum, through effective tax planning.
