“The Simplest Way to Start Contracting through a Limited Company”
(Leave the Paperwork & Hassle to us)
You have probably already realised that as a contractor the most tax efficient way of contracting is through a Limited Company. You may have also realised that there is a certain amount of paperwork and time-consuming administration required to set up and manage a Contractor Limited Company.
What if “everything was done for you”, so you could focus on your contracting role without having to worry about what admin needs to be taken care of?
Well, that’s why in 2006, we created the Freestyle Limited Company Accountants “everything done for you” service for Contractors. Our goal is to make Contracting through a Limited Company as stress-free and easy as possible, so we developed a service that takes care of everything for you…

Our Clients love the “Convenience” and “Time-saving” benefits of our service:
Having switched to Freestyle Limited Company Accountants a few months ago, I can’t believe the difference in the level of service I’ve received. Freestyle customer services are friendly and very efficient, and I’ve been able to contact them with any questions I may have. As a result any worries or problems I’ve had have been quickly resolved. Finally, the accounts portal is a brilliant tool and very easy to us. I would heartily recommend Freestyle to anyone!
(Simon Coope, SJCNet Limited)
The people at Freestyle Limited Company Accountants were a great help…overseeing my affairs and ensuring that I did not fall foul of the numerous pitfalls that ensnare the unwary contractor. Friendly and knowledgeable, nothing is too much trouble for these people. For me, the Freestyle service removes any nagging doubts that I may be “overlooking something” or missing out on the “best possible deal.”
(Nick McEwen, Norwood IT Limited)
I think the Freestyle accountancy service is excellent and takes a lot of the paperwork and worries away from me as a contractor. The staff are kind and intelligent and put a lot of effort and hard work into helping their clients and making running a Ltd company easier.
(A. Williamson, Contractor, London)
I spend 5 minutes each Friday evening completing my invoicing and entering my expenses on the online portal. A further 5 minutes at the end of the month allows me to draw my salary, expenses and issue dividends. It’s simple!
(Robin Whalley, RNW Project Services Ltd)
