Why you need an accountant from day one -
not day one of trading

The day your company is formed, the clock starts ticking on your filing deadlines, your tax decisions and the expenses you could be claiming. Getting an accountant now costs less than you'd think, and could save you thousands.

84%

of our customers with an accountant would tell a friend forming their first company to get one from day one.

BSQ Group customer surveys · September 2026

Get your structure right from day one

How you pay yourself, salary, dividends or both, and how you separate company money from your own decides how much tax you and the company pay. It needs setting up before money moves, not after. 51% of our customers with an accountant say theirs has helped them avoid costly mistakes.

Claim expenses from day one

Start-up costs, mileage, subscriptions and working from home can all reduce your tax bill, but only if you have the records to prove them. Your accountant tells you what qualifies, and you log it in seconds with Xero, included in your plan.

Spread the cost from day one

Your year-end accounts have to be paid for eventually. A fixed monthly fee from day one means no lump-sum bill, plus advice on tap while you're making the decisions that matter most.

Stay on top of filing deadlines from day one

Companies House sets your deadlines from the day your company is incorporated, not from your first sale. Late accounts mean penalties of £150 to £1,500. 56% of our customers with an accountant say theirs has helped them meet deadlines and avoid penalties.

Over a third of founders who waited to get an accountant wish they’d started sooner.

The founders who understood finance best were the most likely to get an accountant immediately: 77% vs 46%.

Before you buy

Straight answers on price, commitment and what your accountant actually does.

The price

What am I paying, and when?

£39.99 +VAT today for the company formation. That includes the £100 Companies House fee. There's nothing to pay for the accounting service in your first month. From month two, 11 monthly payments of £49 +VAT on the Simple plan. After 12 months your subscription continues on a rolling monthly basis.

Is there a minimum term?

Yes. The accounting service has a 12-month minimum, which is the condition of the £100 discount on your company formation. After 12 months there's no fixed term: your subscription continues on a rolling monthly basis.

If you'd rather have no minimum term, buy the All Inclusive Package at £139.99 and add accounting at checkout instead.

What does “subject to approval” mean?

Every application for the £39.99 All Inclusive with Accounting offer is reviewed by 1st Formations before ID verification and before anything is sent to Companies House. If an application can't be approved, it stops there: your company isn't formed and you aren't charged. You can still form your company with any of our other packages.

What's included in the Simple plan for £49 a month?

Your year-end accounts prepared and filed with Companies House. Your Corporation Tax return prepared and filed with HMRC. VAT registration if you need it. Xero accounting software, worth up to £600 a year. Live chat and email support in business hours.

Not included: quarterly VAT returns, payroll and Self Assessment, which are on the Standard and Scale plans.

Which plan should I choose?

Simple (£49 +VAT) if you haven't started trading or are starting small. Standard (£89 +VAT) if you'll be paying yourself a salary and registering for VAT; it includes payroll and VAT returns. Scale (£129 +VAT) if you have employees or want a dedicated accountant by phone.

You can change your plan at onboarding, or at any time after.

Can I change plan?

Yes, whenever you like and as often as you need. Tell your accounting team and they'll move you up or down. You stay with the same team throughout.

What if I don't start trading for a while?

That's what the Simple plan is for. Every limited company must file year-end accounts and a Corporation Tax return from its incorporation date, trading or not. At £49 a month you're spreading that cost across the year rather than paying a lump sum later. When you start trading, everything is already set up.

What will I save compared with a traditional accountant?

Most customers save around £1,300 a year on fees, plus up to £600 a year on Xero, which is included on every plan. A typical accountant charges £1,800 or more for year-end accounts and Corporation Tax alone; the Simple plan is £539 over the first year.

Can I add the accounting service later instead?

No. It's only available at the point of company formation, either through this package or as a checkout add-on to another package. If you form your company without it, you'll need to find an accountant separately.

Working with your accountant

Who does my accounting?

BSQ Accounting, a sister company of 1st Formations and part of the BSQ Group. The team is ACCA-qualified and Xero-certified, and works exclusively with new limited companies.

What happens after I buy?

Your company is usually registered within 24 hours. BSQ Accounting then emails you to start onboarding, by video call or online form. You confirm your plan and get set up on Xero. Within 48 hours of onboarding, your service is live.

Your subscription starts on your company's registration date. The first month is free to give you time to get set up on Xero and the accounting service, so there's no advantage in delaying onboarding.

What does my accountant do, and what do I do?

They prepare and file your accounts and Corporation Tax return, handle HMRC on your behalf, and advise on expenses, tax and how to pay yourself. You keep Xero up to date: connect your bank feed, raise invoices and log expenses. That takes a few minutes a week and is what makes the year-end straightforward.

Do I need any accounting or Xero experience?

No. BSQ Accounting sets Xero up for you and runs weekly training sessions through its Xero Academy. The service is built for first-time directors.

Can I use the service for a company I've already formed?

No. The service is for newly incorporated companies only, formed through this package or by adding accounting at checkout with another package. We don't take on existing companies or take over an existing Xero subscription.

How do I pay myself?

Most directors take a mix of salary and dividends, which is usually more tax-efficient than salary alone. Your accountant works out the right split for you, sets it up before any money moves, and makes sure it's recorded properly.

Do I need to register for VAT or PAYE?

VAT is mandatory once your taxable turnover passes £90,000 in a rolling 12 months; some companies register earlier by choice. PAYE is needed if you pay yourself or anyone else a salary. Your accountant advises on timing and handles both registrations.

Formation, banking and address services

I live outside the UK. Can I buy this package?

No. The accounting service is for UK residents only. The Non-Residents Package includes 12 months of address services, compliance support and business banking referrals for overseas customers.

How long does registration take, and what do I need?

15 minutes to complete the online form. You need at least one director and one shareholder (the same person is fine). No documents or signatures. We verify ID for free as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, then submit to Companies House, which usually approves within 24 hours. A Same-Day Incorporation Service is available at checkout for £79.99.

How do I open a business bank account?

Choose a free referral at checkout from our UK banking partners, including Barclays, NatWest, Monzo, Starling and Lloyds. Once your company is approved, the bank contacts you directly. All accounts are subject to the bank's approval.

What renews, and when?

Address services and the Hassle-Free Compliance Service renew annually. We email you before any renewal payment is taken, and you can cancel. The accounting service follows the 12-month then rolling-monthly terms above. Full details are on the address services and compliance service pages.

The whole process has been incredibly smooth, quick and pain free. I purchased the All Inclusive package and the company was registered in less than 3 hours. Adam reached out shortly after completion of the service. He was incredibly friendly and provided excellent support. Could not recommend enough!
