For the businesses
that make Nantwich.
Nantwich’s market, independent shops and cafés give the town much of its character. Behind each business is someone balancing customers, costs and the everyday work of keeping things moving.
From the first customer
to closing time
If you run a shop, market stall, café or hospitality business, takings are only part of the picture. Stock, supplier bills, card settlements and wages all need to fit together in your records.
We can help you organise that information and discuss what it means for your costs, cash and tax. Planning a busy period or taking on another member of staff? Bring it into the conversation early.
For the next job
and the business behind it
Trades and small workshop businesses often pay for materials before the customer settles the bill. A full order book can bring extra work and extra pressure on cash at the same time.
Talk to us about job costs, overdue invoices and the records you need. If you work within construction, we can also discuss where CIS applies and what support is required.
Consultants, freelancers & growing companies
When your time is spent delivering for clients, administration can spill into evenings. Agree a manageable routine for records and ask about the financial effect of your next project, hire or investment.
Property owners & rural businesses
Different income streams, seasonal spending or a change in ownership deserve a joined-up conversation. Tell us the full picture so we can explain the accounting work and advice you may need.
Know what’s coming.
Make room for your plans.
A good month’s sales can still leave a tight week for cash. Looking at when money arrives and when bills fall due helps you make decisions with a clearer view.
- What’s due in? Customer payments, unpaid invoices and expected sales.
- What needs paying? Stock, suppliers, wages, overheads and tax.
- What might change? A quieter month, a delayed payment or a new commitment.
Ask about cash-flow forecasting and management information as part of your agreed service. We’ll explain the work and fee.
Understand the support
before you decide.
We’ll ask about your business, records and priorities, then agree a fixed fee for the services you need. You should understand what is included and who is responsible for each part.
Additional work is discussed separately. The first chat is completely free; ongoing accountancy work is priced and agreed before it begins.
What we’ll cover in your quote
- Your work: accounts, returns, bookkeeping, payroll or advice.
- Your records: transaction volume and any outstanding catch-up work.
- Your software: the systems you use and any separate subscription costs.
- Your responsibilities: documents, approvals and important dates.
- Your contact: who to ask and how updates will be shared.

Digital records.
Support from real people.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is being introduced in phases for sole traders and landlords. The first phase began in April 2026.
We can help check your position and discuss the software, records and updates involved. Start by showing us how you keep your records now, and we’ll talk through a practical next step.
Check your MTD start date

Qualifying income generally combines gross self-employment and property income before expenses. Eligibility and exemptions apply.
Growing sales? Keep an eye on VAT.
The current compulsory registration threshold is more than £90,000 of taxable turnover over the previous 12 months. There is also a test where turnover is expected to exceed £90,000 in the next 30 days alone.
Discuss your position before a larger contract or sales increase changes your responsibilities.
Check the VAT rules and exceptions ↗Directors: check identity verification.
Companies House identity verification is now a legal requirement. The timing depends on your role and when it began. Directors and people with significant control can have separate steps and deadlines.
Check your own due dates and raise any uncertainty before the relevant filing.
Check when you need to verify ↗Official guidance checked 19 October 2026. Follow the links for current requirements; advice depends on your circumstances.

A few answers.
And an open invitation.
These are useful starting points. If your situation is different, tell us about it. We’d like to understand what you need.
Are you based in Nantwich?
Our office is in Tattenhall, Cheshire. We support clients in Nantwich through phone calls, video meetings and our client portal. You can arrange an office appointment or ask about a meeting at your business. We’ll discuss what works for your location and circumstances.
How much does an accountant cost?
Your fee depends on the services, records and level of support required. We’ll discuss your business and agree a fixed fee before starting. Ask what is included, whether software subscriptions are separate and how additional work is agreed. Your first chat is completely free, with no obligation to join.
How easy is it to switch accountants?
Start by telling us what you need and which deadlines are approaching. Once the work, fee and timing are agreed, we can contact your previous accountant with your permission. Swift’s standard switching process is free. Catch-up work and any fees owed to the previous firm are separate.
Will I be able to speak to someone about my business?
Yes. Contact us by phone or email and arrange video or in-person meetings where helpful. We’ll explain who is handling your work, how updates will be shared and what we need from you. Tell us about any urgent deadline when you get in touch.
Can you help me decide between a sole trader and a limited company?
We can talk through the accounting and tax responsibilities of each structure. Your income, business risks, plans and personal circumstances all matter. We’ll explain the work involved and the questions to consider, rather than assuming one structure is right for everyone.
Do I need Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?
It depends on your gross qualifying self-employment and property income for the relevant tax year, together with eligibility and any exemption. The phased start dates are shown above. We can help you check your position and discuss software, records and responsibilities for the required updates.
When should I ask about VAT registration?
Speak to us as taxable turnover approaches the registration threshold or before a large contract changes your position. The rolling 12-month and next-30-days tests are different, and special rules or exceptions may apply. We can discuss registration and its effect on your records, prices and returns.
Can you help when I employ my first member of staff?
We can discuss payroll support and the information needed before the first payday. Becoming an employer also brings responsibilities around employment checks, pay, pensions and workplace arrangements. Agree which tasks we will handle and which remain with your business before the employee starts.
Do company directors need to verify their identity?
Companies House identity verification is a legal requirement. The due date and filing steps depend on your role and when you started it. If you are both a director and a person with significant control, check the separate requirements for each role. Use the official guidance to confirm your position.
What if my records are behind or HMRC has written to me?
Get in touch with an outline of what is outstanding and any relevant letter or deadline. You don’t need perfectly organised records to have a first conversation. We’ll assess the work, explain how we can help and agree the fees and next steps. Mention an approaching deadline immediately.
Make a little time
for your next step.
You may be starting a business, considering a change of accountant or trying to get on top of the paperwork. You don’t need to have everything sorted before contacting us.
Tell us where you are and what you’d like to achieve. We’ll explain how we can help and what happens next.
