The town is in Sandwell, with its own council, not in Birmingham.

You get one named accountant and a fee fixed in writing after a free 30-minute call.

Sandwell's main town, next door to Birmingham
West Bromwich is the main town of the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell. Its council is Sandwell Council, and its postcodes are B70 and B71. It sits north-west of Birmingham, with Oldbury, Smethwick and Wednesbury as near neighbours. Because of the postcode it is easy to assume it is part of Birmingham. It is not, and that matters for council tax, business rates and landlord licensing.
Most of our contact with West Bromwich clients is remote. If you want to meet, we use our Birmingham offices by appointment.
Queen's Square, New Square and the High Street
The town centre has Queen's Square, which opened in 1971, and the New Square shopping and entertainment complex, which opened in 2013. Traders also work from the historic High Street and Carters Green. Beyond the shops, the area keeps a strong manufacturing and engineering base, and Sandwell General Hospital is close to the centre.
For a sole trader that mix means very different bookkeeping needs. A market or shop owner has daily takings. A tradesperson or a driver has mileage and materials. A small manufacturer has stock and suppliers. We set up the records that suit your trade, and keep invoices and bank statements in one Evidence Pack.
- Self Assessment for sole traders, with expenses checked against HMRC rules.
- Bookkeeping and monthly figures for shops, cafes and takeaways.
- CIS returns and tax refunds for subcontractors in construction.
- Payroll for small teams, including auto-enrolment.
The West Bromwich BID and your business rates
West Bromwich has a Business Improvement District, set up in 2015 and now running its 2025 to 2030 plan. Sandwell Council says it collects the BID charge for the BID company, as a separate bill from business rates. If you trade in the BID area, look for that charge on your bills.
Both costs are normally allowable business expenses for a trader or company, so we make sure they are recorded. Check the BID's own website for its boundary and your rateable value.
Letting property in Sandwell: the licence you may need
Sandwell Council says it introduced Additional Licensing for the whole borough on 1 October 2024. A small house in multiple occupation, with 3 or 4 people from 2 or more households sharing amenities, now needs a licence. Mandatory licensing continues to apply to HMOs with 5 or more people in 2 or more households. The council says licences held under its earlier West Bromwich scheme are licensed under the new one.
Licence fees and the cost of bringing a property up to standard are matters for the council and your own budget. We make sure the costs that are allowable are claimed correctly against your rental income. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies to qualifying income over £50,000 from 6 April 2026, £30,000 from 6 April 2027 and £20,000 from 6 April 2028. Landlords near these limits should talk to us early.
Meeting us from West Bromwich
Our Sparkhill HQ is at 380 Stratford Road, Birmingham B11 4AB, about 7 miles from West Bromwich in a straight line. The Bordesley Green office, at 64 Yardley Green Road, B9 5QE, is about 7.6 miles away. Both are open Monday to Friday, 09:30 to 17:30, by appointment.
Most clients do not travel at all. They send documents by WhatsApp or secure upload and speak to their named accountant by phone or video. Urdu and Punjabi support is available.
Limited companies: dates to keep
A West Bromwich limited company has its own clock. Corporation Tax is normally payable 9 months and 1 day after the accounting period ends. Annual accounts are due at Companies House within 9 months of the year end. VAT registration is required once taxable turnover passes £90,000 in a rolling 12 months.
Deadline Lock tracks each date for you, and we agree a fee in writing after the free call, not after the work.
