Company Formation Plymouth
Your Plymouth company, formed properly.
Setting up a limited company involves more than a Companies House filing. Get the structure wrong at the start and you are correcting it later — usually at additional cost and occasionally with HMRC involved. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.
- Company registered correctly with Companies House from day one
- Tax-efficient structure agreed before you start trading, not after
- HMRC registration, payroll and VAT setup handled as part of the process
- Ongoing accounts and compliance managed from the point of formation
No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?
Not sure your company is set up the right way?
Most people form a limited company without much thought to the structure behind it — director salary, dividend policy, VAT registration timing, PAYE setup. These decisions made in the first few weeks have a habit of following you for years. It is all sortable, but it is considerably easier to get right the first time than to unpick later.
- Company registered but no clear plan for salary, dividends or corporation tax
- Uncertainty about whether to register for VAT at the point of formation
- Directors’ duties and Companies House obligations that nobody has explained clearly
What a properly formed company looks like
The right structure from the start — salary, dividends and VAT position agreed before you begin trading. Directors’ obligations explained plainly, not buried in legislation. Ongoing compliance handled so nothing gets missed as the company grows.
- Salary and dividend structure agreed before you take your first payment
- VAT position assessed at the point of formation, not the point of crisis
- Directors’ duties and annual filing obligations mapped out clearly from day one
- One fixed monthly fee covering formation, setup and ongoing compliance
What Plymouth business owners say
We work with small limited companies at every stage — from first registration to ongoing accounts. Here are two clients who came to us at the start of exactly this process.
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 give a new limited company the structure, compliance and visibility it needs from the point of formation — for one fixed monthly fee.
Company Formation and Structure
Your company registered with Companies House, your HMRC obligations set up correctly and your director salary and dividend structure agreed before you start trading. The decisions made in the first few weeks matter — they are made with a chartered accountant, not guesswork.
Sorted from day oneAnnual Accounts and Corporation Tax
Year-end accounts prepared and filed with Companies House, corporation tax return submitted to HMRC, confirmation statement handled. Your tax position is tracked throughout the year so the bill is not a surprise when it arrives.
All filings includedVAT Returns and Ongoing Bookkeeping
Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Monthly bookkeeping keeps your records current so your numbers are always usable, not just a year-end exercise.
Fixed fee, no extrasSmall limited companies across Devon trust Swift
Sole traders making the move to a limited company, new directors learning their obligations, established businesses switching from an accountant who went quiet. Usually arriving with questions. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Two Years In, Still Highly Recommending
“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.”
Switched Accountants and Already Saving Money
“Having only recently switched my business to Swift from another accountant, I have found them efficient, friendly and professional, and they’re already saving me money! Would recommend. Nic Paton, Cormorant Media”
Fast, Reliable Work at Short Notice
“Great work by Kieran sorting out my business accounts really fast and at short notice on multiple occasions. Many thanks and I would highly recommend them for all accounting needs.”
Why Plymouth businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who handles company formation and ongoing compliance as a connected process, not two separate jobs.
Formation and accounts, joined up
Most accountants will help you form a company or manage your accounts — fewer do both as part of a single ongoing relationship. The structure agreed at formation informs the tax planning throughout the year. Getting both from the same person means nothing gets lost in the handover.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. When you are forming a company, questions come up often — structure, VAT, payroll, what you can expense. You will not be waiting three days for an answer to something straightforward. Ask, and you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No hourly billing for phone calls, no invoice that arrives larger than expected because something took a bit longer. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads, from the first month onwards.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to your company formed, your accounts set up and everything handled on an ongoing basis. No complicated onboarding.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form above with a little detail about where you are — whether you are yet to form or already registered and sorting out the accounting. Kieran reads every enquiry and responds the same day with a clear next step.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your situation — business type, trading plans, current software if any. At the end of the call you will know exactly what is recommended, what is covered and what it costs. No obligation.
We handle the setup
Your company is formed with Companies House, your HMRC obligations registered, your Xero account connected and your records configured. You confirm you want to proceed. The rest is handled.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual accounts and corporation tax return — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible throughout the year rather than arriving as a surprise. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Kieran was really helpful and very knowledgeable with my circumstance, he gave me great advice and was very efficient with getting my tax’s submitted, really glad I found Swift and will definitely be using for future accounting.”
Questions new directors usually ask first
