Forming a company protects business assets and separates personal from business finances.
When you form a company, it provides credibility to your business. It allows customers and vendors to trust that they are dealing with a legitimate organisation, not just an individual working out of their home or garage.
As an entrepreneur, creating a limited company has benefits over being a single trader. The UK taxes limited company profits at 19%. If you’re a director or shareholder of a limited company, you can take a minimal salary and focus on dividends.
A limited liability corporation is a smart option for business owners who want to limit their liability. If something goes awry, you will not be held personally accountable for any financial losses suffered by your business because of your “limited responsibility.”
We will assess your needs and recommend the appropriate ownership structure depending on your shareholdings and tax efficiency. We can prepare the necessary memorandum and articles of association to reflect your shareholder resolution.
