The largest groups of micro businesses in Sunderland are wholesale and retail (980), construction (830) and professional, scientific and technical services (635). For wholesale and retail companies in Houghton le Spring, closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records. That puts wholesale and retail at 19% of the local micro-business base.

Sunderland ranks 677 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 86% is below the 89% average across them. In construction (830 micro businesses in Sunderland), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared. In professional, scientific and technical services (635 micro businesses in Sunderland), fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised.
