Costs of setting up a small business

[eeyore2502]

I am currently considering setting up a small photography business, does anyone know what sort of costs are involved like, Insurance, don't need premises or equipment. Do I need to register a company name and if so how much and what sort of money does an accountant cost?

Thanks

From experience, I can give advice on the 'Registering Company Name' part. There is a dedicated section under on the CRO website [broken link removed]. You first need to search if the name is acceptable, you can then reserve the name until you open your company. It is not expensive, I think it is 25 Euro for this and the 25 Euro will be deducted from the company registration fee.

All of the info can be found in the CRO website.

A small business may also be a trading as set up. you will need to register your business name with cro in order to open a business bank account.
