Start-up Business

Starting up in business is scary and exciting in equal measure. On one hand you are full of ideas and excited about your business idea and are dreaming of success, and on the other here are a lot of new unfamiliar jobs to do. Certax Sunderland is a relatively young business itself, and we can remember the apprehension this can cause.

The prospect of “doing the books”, dealing with VAT, the taxman and Companies House are often the cause of some of these anxieties.

At Certax we have put together a package for start-up businesses that allows us to guide you through the early stages, allowing you to spend more time developing your business. We recognise that all start-up business are different and we have developed three levels of service to help your business become established. All three packages come with a range of options to allow you to get the best value from our services.

We want to help you get your business started on the front foot, and we hope to build a relationship with you that will last for years.
