 Is a limited company right for you?

Often considered as more 'serious' than self-employment, for those making the transition from self employment, this is exactly what it can be. However, in its simplest form, the structure of a limited company is also very suitable for the management of buildings and other not-for-profit arrangements involving a number of people.

Unlike a partnership where everyone is equally responsible (culpable!) a limited companies needs are "served" by its directors but its ownership and ultimate power lies with its shareholders. Thus any number of people can be involved according to their ownership or service roles.

Accountancy services for limited companies.

If you have a limited company already, you will be aware that it has annual accounting and tax responsibilities which it and its key personnel must meet. There are (legal!) ways of maximising your benefit and minimising your tax if you have a company. As mentioned above, salaries can be paid as dividends, assets can be bought or leased. Even mobile phone costs can be tax free in some circumstances!
