Forming a company can be beneficial but it does create additional administration
Depending on the nature of your business and individual circumstances there can be some benefits to forming a company. But care is required as a company can easily mean increased administration or duties as a director and is not always appropriate.
Increased tax efficiency
It can be more tax efficient to operate through a company than as a sole trader. Also a company can provide more flexibility on how a shareholder may be paid e.g. through a combination of salary and dividends. Dividends are paid out of company profits after tax and attract lower tax rates than income tax. There also tends to be a wider range of tax deductible expenses and allowances available to companies versus individuals.
​
Protection of personal assets
Operating as a limited liability company means the company operates as a separate legal entity. This typically means that as a shareholder you are not personally liable for business losses. With some exceptions e.g. personal guarantees etc, this allows personal assets to be protected in the event that a company runs into financial difficulties or becomes insolvent. This differs from a sole trader who is personally liable for any business debts and losses..
​
Credibility and access to finance
Limited companies operate under tighter legal controls and have to provide more financial transparency than sole traders. This can help with access to finance and or credit for your business from financial institutions or suppliers. Operating as a company can encourage more credibility and trust from suppliers and potential customers. A company can also be useful when planning business continuity or expansion.

How we can help
Whether you are currently operating as a sole trader and are thinking about incorporating or launching a new business, we offer a comprehensive company registration service.
Registration of the new company
We can help you decide if a company is right for your business. If so, then we can prepare all of the required documentation and file with Companies House to register the new company.
Maintenance of company registers
Companies are required to maintain certain registers e.g. Register of Members. We can manage this process and help ensure that everything is up-to-date.
Ongoing filings with Companies House
In addition, we can also take care of all on-going filing requirements that may arise e.g. the annual Confirmation Statement, changes in directors, persons with significant control etc.
HMRC & PAYE registration
Depending on your requirements we can also help ensure that your company is correctly registered with HMRC for corporation tax, VAT and (if required) PAYE.
We offer a completely complimentary consultation.
