Starting A Business

Expert guidance for new businesses — from company formation and registration to accounting systems and compliance

We help you build a solid financial foundation for long-term success

Launching a new business is an exciting venture — but navigating the legal, financial, and administrative requirements can be challenging. At North Kent Chartered Accountants Ltd, we have extensive experience supporting start-ups and entrepreneurs across Kent and beyond, helping them make informed decisions and build a strong foundation for success.

We understand that most new businesses begin with a great idea, determination, and ambition — but not everyone is familiar with the financial and regulatory complexities involved. Our Chartered Accountants provide clear, practical guidance to ensure your business is structured correctly, compliant from the outset, and set up for sustainable growth.

We can assist you to:

• Choose the most suitable structure for your business — sole trader, partnership, LLP, or limited company
• Prepare a business plan, cashflow projections, budgets, and forecasts
• Assess finance requirements and advise on suitable funding options
• Establish effective relationships with banks and investors
• Complete registration with Companies House and HMRC
• Manage company secretarial and compliance obligations
• Set up bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, and accounting systems
• Advise on accounting software and implementation
• Support you with ongoing compliance, reporting, and administration

Our goal is to make the start-up process smooth, compliant, and stress-free — allowing you to focus on developing and growing your business.

As an ICAEW-registered firm, we combine technical expertise with practical support to help new businesses succeed from day one.
