Registration and Responsibilities

Within 3 months of starting to trade, each partner must inform the HMRC. This can be done using the CWF1 form, by telephone or on their website. If you don’t advise the HMRC within this time limit you are subject to a Penalty.

It is advisable to check for any grants or financial assistance for start-ups or expanding businesses.
When you start trading as a Partnership, each partner uses their own money and assets, so be careful in that every partner is also liable for any debts the partnership business incurs.
