I am new to all this, but two friends have decided to start a business up and I have been roped in to do the books and payroll - the pay roll side of it is totally new to me and I have no idea where to start
To make matters worse, they started one company and due to red tape had to wait and so decided to start another company - now both companies are starting off at the same time
I am looking at payroll, as we have registered one company with HMRC and a pay run is now due, however no one is to be paid
Looking through all the payroll suppliers out there and no idea what to do for the best - so any ideas gratefully received (Both companies have less than 5 employees at the moment)
I've used both 12pay and Moneysoft and found both relatively easy to use, have great help files and helplines if you gets stuck. Moneysoft is probably slightly easier, but neither are expensive. Have a look at their websites and their you tube videos.
Good luck with it.

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.
You should check out answers with reference to the legal position
You could also use HMRC's basic tools which is free, but the only problem with that is you can't print payslips, which won't be a problem if nobody is to be paid, but you will have to make your own if you intend to use them in the future.
As for me I use Moneysoft and 12Pay, both are really good for the price, but slightly prefer Moneysoft's interface.
