Limited Companies - Horner Downey & Co.

Limited Companies

Don’t let uncertainty get in the way of your business growth
– choose an accounting partner that cares.

Are you at the stage of becoming a limited company? We can help you manage the transition and all it entails.

Becoming a limited company could be the most cost-effective solution for you. In certain instances you have no choice but to become a limited company. However, some sole traders choose this path as there are many legal tax advantages available. Having said all that, limited companies come with their own tax and accounting considerations. This is where a chartered account service is especially beneficial to keeping your business on track.

Our Limited Company Accounting Services

In the first instance, we can help you register your company with HMRC and Companies’ House. We can also offer a virtual business address completely free of charge so you don’t have to make your home address visible or go to the expense of hiring an office or premises while you’re still building your business and want to keep overheads to a minimum.

Additional accounting services we can offer a limited company are: bookkeeping, account management, payroll and pensions, VAT reporting, self-assessment for you and your partners, business plans and forecasting, corporation tax calculation and more.

Account Management

We manage your accounts, keeping in touch with you while we prepare your reports, giving you peace of mind.

Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping is a time-consuming task that catches a lot of business owners out. With us on your side, you can keep on top of your bookkeeping essentials.

Payroll

One big obstacle to hiring staff is the thought of managing payroll. We can take care of this for you so you can embrace your business expansion, worry-free.

Pensions

Pensions for you and your staff is a must-have, though it can be complex to wrap your head around. That’s where we come in.

Corporate Tax Planning

We bring order to the complexities of your corporate tax planning, negating any potential pitfalls and assisting with audits and tax investigations.

Personal Tax Planning

We’ve got your personal tax planning in hand, ensuring you’re always on time with your returns and never paying more than you need to.

Self Assessment Tax Returns

Self-assessment tax returns are confusing and it’s easy to make mistakes. Why not put this into the hands of experts who understand each and every term?

VAT

It is compulsory for a business to register for VAT where they have a turnover of £90,000 in any 12-month period. Becoming VAT registered requires preparation before you jump in. What’s more calculating how much VAT you owe is complex. Let us help you plan for a smooth transition.

Don’t work in isolation – book a consultation with us and find out what it means to collaborate with an accounting partner.

What our clients say...

“We at Signs 3000 Ltd are very impressed with the professionalism and helpfulness of all at Horner Downey. We have been with them for 10 years now and have had many tax and other queries that have been resolved and answered by the accountants. Horner Downey do our payroll, Yearly accounts & VAT, which Mark personally comes out to assist with. I would willingly recommend them to any business large or small.”

Karen Moreton

“We have been using the services of Horner Downey since 1994 when our annual turnover was less than £20,000. Since then we have steadily grown with our current turnover being in excess of £3 million and rising.

Over the years we have been approached by many accountancy firms looking to attract our custom. None have been able to match the rates Horner Downey offer, and, although we have never moved I sincerely doubt any would match the service. We look forward to many more years to come…”
