Services for Stevenage businesses
Business in Stevenage
Stevenage was the UK’s first post-war New Town, designated in 1946, and it now has one of the strongest engineering and science job markets in Hertfordshire. Defence and aerospace firms such as Airbus and MBDA have major sites here, and the Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst campus has made the town a centre for cell and gene therapy. Fast trains to London King’s Cross also make it a base for commuters who run a business on the side.
What Stevenage clients usually need from us
- Contractor limited companies: year-end accounts, CT600, salary and dividend planning, and a clear view of whether IR35 applies to each contract.

- Commuters with side income: Self Assessment for freelance, rental or investment income alongside a PAYE job.
- Growing employers: payroll, PAYE and workplace pension set-up when you take on your first staff.

Frequently asked questions
Can you help with IR35 for my Stevenage contracting company?
Yes. We review each contract and working arrangement with you, explain whether the client or your company decides IR35 status, and plan salary, dividends and pension contributions around the result.
Do you handle R&D tax relief claims?
Yes, for qualifying research and development. We check whether your project meets HMRC’s definition first, then prepare the claim with your company tax return. Not every technical project qualifies, and we will tell you if yours does not.
Do you have an office in Stevenage?
No. We work with Stevenage clients online by video call, phone and WhatsApp, with secure document sharing. Most clients never need to meet in person.
