Choose a structure, then stay organised

Sole traders face simpler admin but pay income tax plus USC/PRSI (Ireland) or National Insurance (UK) on profits personally. Limited companies offer liability protection and salary/dividend options, but add corporation tax and annual filing duties.

FinnAccountings helps you understand the trade-offs — then organise transactions, receipts, and VAT prep once you are trading.

Registrations you need from day one

Irish businesses typically register for tax with Revenue, consider VAT if turnover crosses thresholds, and enrol in PAYE Modernisation when hiring. UK companies need Companies House incorporation, HMRC setup, and VAT registration when required.

Our checklist covers bank accounts, record-keeping, and first-year dates so bookkeeping and VAT prep start cleanly.

Support beyond incorporation

Formation is the start. FinnAccountings continues with transaction organisation, receipt matching, and VAT preparation — so your first VAT period is not a scramble.
