At this time of the year cash really is king, and we all want cleared funds in our accounts before the end of the year. Waiting for cheques to clear seems pretty old fashioned – in about 30 minutes you could be set up to take credit cards or Direct Debits (or both!) For card merchant services we suggest Stripe:

Stripe have just announced lower transaction fees at 1.4% plus 20p per transaction making taking credit cards a really accessible method of payment for small businesses. Plus there is no monthly fee or minimum sign up period so you can add Stripe as a payment method with no commitment and take as few or as many cards as you want.

And for Direct Debit we love Go Cardless: it’s really easy to set up for any small business with a UK bank account, there are no setup fees and you can automate recurring payments. It’s really secure and your customers get a simple, fast, authorisation screen so everyone is happy.

Moving to Panthera is easy

It’s a big decision to move accountants. We get it. That’s why we have a clearly defined process in place to make it as straightforward as possible.

Step 1: We have a short initial discovery meeting to understand your needs so we can create the perfect service package for your business

Step 2: You receive your tailored proposal with one simple monthly fee and you e-sign the letter of engagement

Step 3: You provide your current accountant with notice – and you leave the rest to us!

We liaise directly with your previous accountant regarding the transfer of information. We request authority from HMRC to act on your behalf. We handle as much of the admin as possible, so you can get on with running your business – safe in the knowledge that everything is going on in the background. And if there’s any action for you, we let you know.
