Compliance with business related laws

Aside of taxation, all businesses, especially limited companies, are required to comply with a range of laws, including business related laws. Ignorance is never an excuse when facing fines or court. Our aim is to help you negotiate your responsibilities and ensure that your activities remain compliant in a range of areas including;

• Registered office address – If you are responsible for a limited company, we can provide you with a registered office service to receive your formal mail and forward by email, scanned copies of such mail, helping you retain a greater degree of privacy.
• Companies House Returns – If you are responsible for a limited company then you are required to file certain forms or returns, within specific timescales, or  suffer a fine, when certain things happen, e.g. annual accounts, annual Confirmation Statement, changes in shareholdings or company structures. We can help ensure that you comply with your legal obligations and, submit forms on your behalf.
• Information Commissioners Office (ICO) – Under the Data Protection Act 2018 organisations processing personal information are required to pay a data protection fee each year unless they are exempt. You need to renew your data protection fee each year, or tell the ICO if your registration is no longer required. If you fail to do so, the ICO can issue a monetary penalty of up to £4,000 on top of the fee you are required to pay.
• Pensions Regulator – All employers must offer a workplace pension scheme by law ingo which the employer, the employee and the government pays. We can help you with the assessment process, selection of schemes and, monthly payroll data needed.
• Insurances – Businesses and individuals should use insurance to cover risks that can not be mitigated through their operations. Most insurances are optional with the exception of Employer’s Liability insurance (EL). Furthermore the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) can fine you £2,500 for every day you go unprotected. We can help connect your with brokers and assess your risks and, what you can’t mitigate.
