    Why is a car better than a mountain bike? Suppose you want to take some bags to the dump, which would you choose?

    Your list only does payroll. There's rather more to running a company than that. FreeAgent and the like are a full accounting package so will do bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, P&L, Dividend management, and more....

    But hey - what do we know...
    Blog? What blog...?

      Sign up with Mettle (Part of NatWest) and have FreeAgent provided and no monthly fee.

        Does anyone use any of the following freebies that the HMRC recommend? Why is Freeagent better?

        1 2 Cloud Payroll Free Cloud Payroll, Free Cloud Bureau Payroll
        12Pay Express
        Accentra Technologies Primo Payroll with Auto Enrolment (up to 10 employees)
        Capium Capium Payroll (up to 3 employees)
        EnrolPay Small Payroll
        Hartigan Software Design RTI Lite
        HMRC Basic PAYE Tools
        IRIS Software IRIS Payroll Basics
        Kashflow Kashflow Payroll
        Shape Payroll Shape Payroll (up to 3 employees)
        Stansoft Stansoft Linux
        FreeAgent is supported.
        Most of those free ones are stripped out versions of a commercial product. Any idea why they offer this? It's not for charity.
        FreeAgent will be maintained with the latest tax rules, interfaces etc. and is backed up.
        You get what you (or a bank) pay for.

        Great for Starling that you're happy with them. Although I'm not sure why if other companies offer more service for the same or less money. Did you know you're 10 times more likely to get divorced than change your bank? Why are people so loyal to banks? It makes no sense.

        Ohh. and you can have more than one bank account you know. One that provides FreeAgent for free, and still keep this Starling thing you love more than your partner.

          So what are you using for recording all your day to day business transactions and accounting journals that you'll need to post throughout the year? As Mal says, there's more to running a business than just the payroll.
