Company Formation Devon
Company formation in Devon, done properly.

- Registered office address in Devon included if you need it
- Tax-efficient director and shareholder structure set up from the outset
- Ongoing accounting in place so nothing falls through after formation

Not sure how to set up your company correctly?
Most people forming a limited company in Devon for the first time get the basics done — name registered, directors filed — and then realise there are ten more questions nobody answered. Share structure, VAT registration, PAYE, registered office, tax-efficient salary levels. Each one is solvable. Each one costs more to correct later than to get right at the start.
- No clear guidance on share structure, director loans or salary versus dividends
- Companies House obligations piling up with no one keeping track of deadlines
- Ongoing accounting left unorganised from the moment the company was incorporated
What a well-formed company looks like
The right structure in place from incorporation, with salary, dividends and VAT registration considered before the first transaction. Companies House deadlines handled as a matter of course. Ongoing bookkeeping and tax in the hands of someone who already knows the setup.
- Share structure and director pay set up tax-efficiently from day one
- Confirmation statements, accounts and Companies House filings handled on time
- Bookkeeping and tax running from the moment the company is formed
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move regardless of how many questions arise
What Devon business owners say about us
We work with small limited companies and newly formed businesses across Devon and the wider UK. Here are two clients who came to us at exactly the point you are at now.
What a guy!! Excellent, fast and reliable. Kieran has been very professional, caring, patient and efficient throughout the entire process of building our company. He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.
Kieran at Swift is super! He helped and bailed me out of the last minute panic of tax and Companies House returns. He’s on the ball, quick at responding, patient with me and got the job done stress free, plus his rates are very competitive.
What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your new company compliant, tax-efficient and properly managed — for one fixed monthly fee with no hidden extras.
Company Formation and Setup
Your limited company incorporated with Companies House, share structure agreed, registered office address provided if needed, and VAT registration handled where relevant. The decisions that are easiest to get right at the start — and most expensive to correct later — are made before the first transaction goes through.
From day oneOngoing Compliance and Filings
Confirmation statements, annual accounts and corporation tax returns filed on time, every year. Companies House deadlines do not get forgotten — they are tracked and handled as a matter of course. You will not receive a surprise penalty for a missed filing.
Handled as standardBookkeeping, Payroll and Tax
Monthly bookkeeping on Xero, director payroll including RTI submissions to HMRC, and quarterly VAT returns where applicable. Your tax position is visible throughout the year — not just at the point the bill arrives. One accountant, one fixed fee, all of it covered.
Fixed monthly pricingSmall businesses across Devon trust Swift
Newly formed companies, sole traders converting to limited status and growing small businesses. Usually arriving with questions nobody has answered yet. Leaving with a structure that works and someone keeping track of the rest.

Why Devon businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants willing to incorporate a company. Here is what is different about working with one who stays involved after the paperwork is filed.
Formation is only the beginning
Most formation services stop at the certificate. What follows — payroll setup, VAT registration, dividend policy, bookkeeping — is where the ongoing cost of getting it wrong accumulates. Swift handles formation as the start of an ongoing relationship, not a one-off transaction. The structure is built to be run properly from day one.
Questions answered the same day
You will have a lot of questions in the first few months of running a limited company. Questions get answered the day you ask them — not logged, not queued, not forwarded to someone else. If you want to know whether a particular expense is allowable or how to structure a director’s loan, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed upfront
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice arriving larger than expected, no extras for asking a follow-up question. Accounting costs are predictable from the moment you start — which is what fixed pricing is supposed to mean.
Up and running in four steps
From first enquiry to your company formed and your accounting in place — no complicated onboarding, no forms that require a solicitor.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page with a few details about your situation. Kieran reads every enquiry personally and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding message, no waiting for a callback window.
A short call to agree the plan
Twenty minutes to talk through your company structure, whether VAT registration applies, how you intend to pay yourself and what ongoing accounting you need. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — nothing left vague.
Formation and setup handled
Companies House incorporation, registered office if required, Xero accounting software connected and configured. You confirm you want to proceed — the rest is handled. There is very little for you to do except check your email for the certificate.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns and annual accounts managed as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. Confirmation statements are filed on time without a reminder from you. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“I’ve been using Swift Accounting for two years now after my previous accountant retired and recommended Kieran. Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.”
