Creating a Trade - 3 Accounting Periods
You can create a trade:
When three accounting periods (APs) are present in the period of account (POA), of which only two can be trading APs.
When one or two accounting periods are present in the period of account.
Once the limited company client has been set up and a relevant period of account created and opened, it is necessary to add a trade(s) / business(es) if there is any trading activity in the company.
