FRS 105 Micro Entity Accounts in Westhoughton

If your company is based in Westhoughton and meets the qualifying conditions for the UK micro-entities regime, FRS 105 Micro Entity Accounts provide the financial reporting framework used to prepare its annual accounts.

It is important to understand that not every small company qualifies, and eligibility depends on size criteria as well as certain rules and exclusions. Professional preparation helps ensure your FRS 105 financial statements are put together appropriately for your company’s particular circumstances — reflecting the transactions actually recorded in your books, the disclosures the framework requires, and the format expected for Companies House filing. Working with someone who deals with FRS 105 accounts regularly can make the process clearer, reduce the back-and-forth, and give you financial statements you can rely on when reviewing how the business has performed.

I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

─── FRS 105 EXPLAINED

FRS 105 Explained: The Micro-Entities Regime in Simple Terms

FRS 105 is a UK financial reporting standard designed for micro-entities — the smallest category of company within the UK’s company size framework. In simple terms, it sets out how a qualifying company’s annual accounts should be prepared when it chooses to apply the micro-entities regime, which is a permitted accounting regime rather than an automatic entitlement. The standard is deliberately streamlined: it focuses on the information a micro-entity needs to report, and it generally involves fewer disclosures than the larger reporting frameworks. That simplicity is the main attraction, but it also means the accounts look different from those prepared under other standards. Crucially, choosing the micro-entities regime is optional for companies that qualify — FRS 105 applies when that regime is chosen, and a qualifying company may instead prepare its accounts under a different framework. For a Westhoughton-based limited company, understanding which regime fits and what the resulting FRS 105 financial statements will look like is a sensible first step before the year-end accounts are put together.

Who Can Use FRS 105 in the UK? Qualifying for the Micro-Entities Regime

FRS 105 is intended for UK companies that qualify for the micro-entities regime and decide to apply it. For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, a company generally needs to meet at least 2 of the 3 applicable size conditions: turnover of no more than £1 million, a balance sheet total of no more than £500,000, and an average of no more than 10 employees. Those figures are a starting point rather than the full test. Other eligibility rules and exclusions can apply, and certain companies are not able to use the micro-entities regime at all, so meeting the size conditions alone does not automatically mean a company qualifies or will choose to apply the regime. It is also worth remembering that using FRS 105 is a choice available to qualifying companies, not a requirement, and the decision should be made with the company’s reporting history, structure and plans in mind. If your Westhoughton company is considering FRS 105 Micro Entity Accounts, reviewing your circumstances against the current rules is the most reliable way to confirm where you stand.

A company generally needs to meet at least 2 of these 3 conditions.

Business Turnover

Annual Turnover of £1 Million or less. (£632,000 previously)

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet total of £500,000 or less.(£316,000 previously)

Company Size

On an average 10 or less employees
(10 or less previously)

─── What We Review

Everything Your Micro-Entity Company Is Required to Get Right

Most compliance problems are not deliberate. They come from a missed deadline, an accounts template that no longer matches FRS 105, or dividends taken without the paperwork to support them. Our review covers each area in turn and reports back in plain English.

 

FRS 105 Balance Sheet

A statutory balance sheet prepared to the FRS 105 format, using the reduced disclosure the micro-entities regime allows.

Profit & Loss Account

Required Notes & Disclosures

Preparation of the notes and disclosures required for the company's accounts under the applicable reporting requirements.

Corporation Tax Support

Separate Corporation Tax support can be provided where included in the agreed service. The Corporation Tax calculation is governed by tax rules rather than FRS 105.

Your FRS 105 accounts filed with Companies House in the correct format, before your accounts filing deadline.

─── WHO WE HELP

FRS 105 Support for Micro-Entities Across the UK

From one-director businesses and freelancers to startups, consultants and online businesses that qualify for the micro-entities regime.

One-Director Companies

Straightforward FRS 105 accounts and Corporation Tax filing for owner-managed limited companies.

Startups & Small Companies

Professionally Prepared FRS 105 Accounts and Accurate Financial Reporting

Professionally prepared FRS 105 Micro Entity Accounts start with accurate bookkeeping and a clear understanding of the company’s financial records for the period. The accounts are then prepared on the basis of those records and the reporting requirements that apply to the company, including the recognition and measurement approach set out in FRS 105 and the disclosure expectations of the micro-entities regime. It is worth separating two distinct pieces of work: the preparation of the financial statements themselves, and the filing of those accounts with Companies House in the required format and within the company’s statutory filing deadline. Corporation Tax obligations sit alongside this, but are not the same thing — a CT600 is a separate Corporation Tax filing submitted to HMRC, and it is not prepared under FRS 105. Having the accounts and the tax position looked at together helps keep the figures consistent across both, while ensuring each requirement is dealt with in its own right. We base the work on the information you provide and do not claim that Companies House or HMRC approves or endorses any set of accounts.

FRS 105 is the UK financial reporting standard for micro-entities. It sets out how the annual accounts of a qualifying company should be prepared when that company chooses to apply the micro-entities regime. It is a simplified framework, with fewer disclosure requirements than those that apply to larger companies, and it is used for the financial statements of the company rather than for tax filings.

FRS 105 is available to companies that qualify for the UK micro-entities regime and then choose to apply it. Qualifying is not the same as being required to use it — a company that meets the size conditions may still prepare its accounts under a different framework. Certain company types and circumstances can be excluded from the regime, so eligibility should always be checked against the specific rules rather than assumed from size alone.

No. The micro-entities regime is an available accounting regime, not a compulsory one. Where a company qualifies and decides to apply the regime, FRS 105 is the standard that applies to its accounts. A qualifying company is free to use a different reporting framework instead, and the choice can affect how the accounts look and what is disclosed.

For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2025, a company generally needs to meet at least 2 of the 3 applicable size conditions: turnover of no more than £1 million, a balance sheet total of no more than £500,000, and an average of no more than 10 employees. Meeting those size conditions is not the whole picture — other rules and exclusions can apply, and some companies are not eligible for the micro-entities regime regardless of their size.

Both are UK financial reporting standards, but they are aimed at different sizes of company. FRS 105 is the micro-entities standard and is deliberately streamlined, with a narrower set of disclosures than the larger frameworks. FRS 102 is used more widely across small and medium-sized entities and generally involves fuller recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements. The framework chosen changes how the accounts are presented, so it is worth confirming which one suits your company.

Yes — a limited company's annual accounts are filed at Companies House within the filing deadline that applies to that company. Preparing the financial statements under FRS 105 and filing them are two stages of the same exercise: the accounts are prepared first, then submitted in the required format. Filing accounts at Companies House is separate from any Corporation Tax filing you make to HMRC.

Yes, they are separate requirements. FRS 105 governs how the company's financial statements are prepared, while a CT600 is the Corporation Tax Return submitted to HMRC. The figures in the accounts usually inform the tax return, which is why preparing them together can help keep everything consistent, but each has its own rules, its own submission route and its own deadline.

A newly incorporated company can use FRS 105 if it qualifies for the micro-entities regime in its first accounting period and chooses to apply it. In practice, that means checking the size conditions for the period, along with any rules or exclusions that might affect a new company. Newly formed companies sometimes have unusual first-period figures, so it is worth reviewing eligibility before assuming the micro-entities regime applies.
