Yes, in every tier. The Plus tier also includes a second director or shareholder's return.
Do you review my contracts for IR35?
The Plus tier includes an IR35 status review for each new contract. All tiers include IR35 guidance. Reviews assess your working arrangements and aren't legal advice.
What if my contract is inside IR35?
We'll show you how to handle inside IR35 income in your company. If you're likely to be inside IR35 for a long period, we'll tell you honestly whether an umbrella company would suit you better.

Can I switch mid-contract?
Yes. Switching is free, and we take over from any point in your company's year.
How much does it cost to close my company?
Company closure by strike-off is £299 plus VAT, plus the small Companies House strike-off fee. If there are significant retained profits, we'll talk you through the most tax-efficient option first.
