Switching accountant to Buzz takes one form from you. We write to your old accountant, chase until the records arrive, set up HMRC agent authorisation and take over or set up your software.

The switch costs nothing and can happen at any time of year, and you get a named accountant you can ring from the first day. The first step is the instant quote.

Work out what Buzz Accounting would cost — accounts, tax, payroll and pensions, with everything each package includes.

A £30,000 salary is a long way from the cost of the hire.

Employer's National Insurance is 15% on everything above £5,000 a year per employee, which is £3,750 on that salary. Add the pension contribution, software, a desk and holiday cover, and our rule of thumb is salary times 1.35, so about £40,500 a year. Price the whole number before you advertise the role, and put it against what the role will bring in.

The cost of employing people has moved. Here's what to actually check before your next hire.

The grant we had to pay back

The £40,000 landed, the machine was bought, and the conditions we had skimmed in the offer letter came due twenty-four months later.

The VAT registration threshold is £90,000 of taxable sales in any rolling twelve months, and the mistake we see most often is measuring the calendar year or the accounting year instead.

At the end of any month, add up your taxable sales for the previous twelve. If they are over £90,000, you must register. A business that only checks at year end can be several months late without knowing. It takes five minutes a month with the sales ledger open.

A plain-English UK guide to VAT registration: the £90,000 rolling threshold, the 30-day forward test, voluntary registration.

Here is how a Buzz quote works. You answer a few questions about the business, the monthly fee appears on the page, and the full proposal goes to your inbox at the same time, ready to accept or talk through.

The fee is fixed and monthly, agreed before you sign anything, and it covers sole traders, landlords and limited companies.

The dilapidations bill that arrived after we moved out

We handed the keys back in March and thought we were done. In May a surveyor's schedule arrived claiming £74,000 for an office we had spent our own money improving.

Taken money out of your own limited company this year that was neither salary nor a declared dividend? It sits in your director's loan account, and there is a date attached to it.

If the account is still overdrawn nine months and one day after your year end, the company pays 35.75% on the balance (for money drawn on or after 6 April 2026). Clear it before that date and there is no charge at all. The company gets the tax back once the loan is repaid, but slowly, so the cheaper route is to look at the balance now.

Taken money out of your limited company that wasn't salary or a dividend? Here's what a director's loan account is, and why documentation matters.

A £30,000 hire doesn't cost £30,000.

Employer's National Insurance is 15% on everything above £5,000, so that's £3,750 on top. Add the minimum pension contribution and you're north of £34,000.

Nothing hidden about it — it just tends to get calculated after the decision rather than before.

The test of whether your business runs without you isn't whether you can take a holiday. It's what has to happen before you go, and what's waiting when you get back.

Usually the bottleneck isn't workload — it's decisions only you can make because nobody's written down how you make them.

Pricing is nearly always the first one.

If the business can't run without you, what you own is a job. A practical look at reducing owner-dependency — through systems, people and letting go.

There are three employment statuses, not two: employee, worker, and self-employed.

The middle one catches people out. A worker doesn't get redundancy or unfair dismissal rights — but they do get holiday pay and the minimum wage.

Casual and zero-hours staff are often workers. If so, holiday pay has been building up the whole time.

Three categories, three sets of rights, and a label on the contract that decides none of it. The reality of the working relationship is what counts.
