Dear Lazyweb: Small business accountants?

[denny]

I'm probably going to be setting up a small business, and I'm looking for recommendations of accountants that might be good to use. In London would be a bonus, especially in N1, but reasonable prices would be more of a bonus and that probably means not in London at a guess :)

I'm going to need some advice on stuff like which type of company structure is good for me (I'm currently looking at an LLP which seems to offer advantages over a Ltd co. for my purposes, but they're relatively rare so I want to check I'm not missing something), and also whether I need to find a mail redirection service to be my 'registered office' or whether the accountants can handle (or recommend somebody to handle) that.

So basically, anything you've got in the way of advice/recommendations for accountancy and other advice when setting up a small business. Ta :)

Speak to my accountant, he's very good for tech startups and he can tell you all about LLPs, act as your registered office and generally be very helpful indeed.

I guessed from the glitter and sparkles ;)

I'll definitely have a chat with Russ about this, thanks!
