Starting up your business properly?
« on: May 11, 2015, 01:39:22 pm »
If you switch from a p/t business to a more serious job, what do you need?   Where would you get invoices and how do you deal with all the running and financial stuff?

Same a part time. You still have to keep records. Its still a "serious job" part time. Keep all invoices,.You get these when you buy goods.:) petrol, brushes etc. Get an accountant....NOW!!!!!

You'll probably find that your local council provide free support to anyone who wants to start up a business - maybe go to your local MP or Citizen's Advice Bureau to find out. I used a free service in my area called 'Pembrokeshire Business Initiative' and their advice was very helpful.

If you are trading as a sole trader I don't think you need an accountant - something like Roundtracker can do all the work for you for a one-off free of £37. You just need to keep a record of your incomings  & outgoings (which you would have to do if you had an accountant anyway).
