Sole Traders

Helping sole traders start and grow their business

Whilst the quickest and easiest way to start your new business, operating as a sole trader may still come with some challenges. Having supported hundreds of sole traders get up and running, Gascoynes provide expertise, support and guidance from the very outset to help you through all stages of setting up your exciting business venture.

Our coverage across East Anglia is broad – five offices in Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich, Stowmarket, Diss and Wymondham, where our teams of chartered accountants are easily available to support every step of the way.

When you work with Gascoynes you are gaining access to a wealth of experience from HMRC registration, setting up your digital accountancy software such as QuickBooks and keeping up to date with any taxation requirements or submissions.

Guidance every step of the way

On top of this we will help you understand allowable expenses, self-assessment tax returns, possible VAT registration and how you can meet these deadlines without pressure or stress – allowing you to focus on the growth and success of your business. And should the business grow to the level where you need to increase your team then we can advise on payroll and employer responsibilities too.
