Company Formation for Ealing: the basics
Starting a company in Ealing? We incorporate it at Companies House, register it for Corporation Tax and, where appropriate, PAYE and VAT, set up the bookkeeping software and talk you through the director’s responsibilities, so you start compliant rather than catching up later.
Businesses in England follow UK-wide rules for Income Tax, National Insurance, VAT and Corporation Tax, with Stamp Duty Land Tax applying to property purchases. Local business rates are set and collected by the local authority.

Company Formation questions
Answers for Ealing clients. Your accountant can go into detail for your situation.
Companies House usually approves an online incorporation within 24 hours on a working day. HMRC registrations follow in the days after.
It depends on profit level, risk, how you want to pay yourself and your plans for growth. We run the comparison for your numbers before you decide; a company is not automatically better.
A limited company must have its own account because it is a separate legal person. Sole traders are not legally required to, but it makes bookkeeping far simpler and MTD easier.
Annual accounts and a Corporation Tax return, a confirmation statement each year, PAYE submissions if you have payroll, and VAT returns if registered. All of these are covered by your plan.
Yes, at any point in the year. We write to your current accountant for professional clearance and your records, and there is no charge for switching.
Making Tax Digital requires digital record keeping and software filing. It already applies to VAT-registered businesses and is being extended to Income Tax Self Assessment for sole traders and landlords in stages. The software in your plan meets the requirements.
