Setup checklist for a new company

Open a business bank account, so company money is kept separate (GOV.UK: set up a limited company).
Check whether you need to pay the data protection fee to the ICO (ICO).
Check whether you need to register for VAT, or want to (GOV.UK: register for VAT). If you're not VAT-registered, compare SIMs and broadband on the inc-VAT price.
Choose a business number and put it on your website, invoices and Google listing. Don't give out your personal mobile.
Set up call forwarding or a ring group so calls don't ring out. Try the missed-call check.
If you're taking over premises with an old phone line, check alarms and card machines before the analogue switch-off on 31 January 2027 (Openreach, October 2026). Use the switch-off checker.
Write down each contract's end date in the contract wallet, so nothing rolls on at a higher price.
Set a screen lock and turn on Find My or Find My Device on every laptop and phone.
