Services
We are able to help with all aspects of company formation and hosting, bookkeeping, statutory annual accounts, compliance and tax.
Our Special Offerings
FREE Company Formation
We offer free standard company formation included as part of our new client sign on. Too many investors try to be smart and save money by doing it themselves. They often get it wrong in the smaller details due to inexperience. Sometimes it is easy to fix down the line, but sometimes it is expensive and costly. The wrong structure can also limit your mortgageability and cost you tens of thousands of Pounds over the years. Rather let us do it for you, at no additional cost!
Beginners Pricing Special
This only applies to newly established property companies.
We know it is hard starting out and we want to help you through this tough stage of the business. That’s why we offer a beginners pricing special. This pricing special heavily discounts our fees for the
first two years, allowing you a little extra breathing space to get your property business off the ground.
Extra Bonuses
Besides the 4 key services below, we offer all clients some additional training and support for running your property business. This is to educate you on what you are responsible for and the appropriate standards that apply (not to turn you into a bookkeeper or accountant). We also supply you with some non-accounting, non-bookkeeping systems that every landlord will need to develop over time for an organised portfolio. We provide this for free to all clients. It also makes our life a lot easier to look after your affairs if you are organised and have a great system in place – so we both win!
We pride ourselves in offering exceptional service quality
Our Key Services
Company Services
We provide your company with our office address as the official company service address (thus keeping your personal details out of the public domain).
We deal with all Companies House and HMRC correspondence and compliance so you can focus on finding deals.
Bookkeeping
This is a premium service and for those with an active portfolio who are looking to free up time.
We are also able to provide an efficient and slick system for record keeping that is HMRC compliant and won’t bury you under mountains of paper or take very much time!
Tax Compliance
A lot of new clients think that this is the most important (or only) task that we can help with. It’s not!
When a new investor is just starting off, and doesn’t even know what questions to ask, this is often dangled in front of them. Yes – it is important and we do this as standard! However, this ignores the massive amount of value we can add besides this non-negotiable, annual requirement.
Ad Hoc Consulting
Looking to convert a house into a HMO? Not sure whether to buy in your own name or via a limited company? Two of you looking to form a bit of a joint venture? Looking to develop a pub or other commercial building into flats? Not sure how individual properties are performing in your portfolio?
We are able to help and advise on a wide range of topics to ensure you are operating in the right structure, with the right systems in place and being as tax efficient as possible.
How We Work With You
We have great cloud-based software for those who want or need it for their business as well as a lower cost Acorn package. What is right for you will depend where you are in your journey, number of properties and type or properties owned, ownership structure and future goals. This is why we offer a free initial consultation to find out more about you and how we might be best able to help you grow and achieve your goals.
