At Woodmanston, we offer specialist accounting services for businesses that are setting up or already operating as a Limited Company.
When you are first starting, deciding how to set up your business can be confusing. However, we believe that if you are a start-up, small business, or fast-growing company seeking investment, using a Limited Company offers a great way to maximise your profits in a tax-efficient manner while also keeping risks to a minimum.
One of the biggest benefits of becoming a Limited Company is that it allows the owner to separate their personal affairs from their business venture. This means that the owner’s liability is limited to the amount of money/assets they have invested, ensuring that they are usually not personally liable for company debts.
At Woodmanston, we can help safeguard your personal assets and put your business on a strong footing by setting up your Limited Company. We’re here to advise and support you every step of the way, and we’ll take care of everything from submitting annual accounts and tax returns to preparing formal documentation and guiding you through the relevant legislation.
As explained above, if you trade as a Limited Company and something goes wrong, as the owner you will not be personally liable for any financial losses incurred (providing you have followed rules and regulations). If someone chooses to seek compensation, then they do so against the company you are trading as and not you as an individual.
Once you have registered your company name at Companies House, it is protected by law. This means that other businesses are unable to trade under the same name as you or anything which is deemed as similar.
When you set up a Limited Company, it is a separate legal entity. Therefore, you will need to set up a separate company bank account to record all assets and cashflow relating to the business. This legal requirement actually creates a very healthy and useful dividing line between the business’ funds and your own, which should always stay separate.
Small businesses generally choose to trade as a Limited Company as it often allows them to operate more tax efficiently. Taking an income through dividends gives you a degree of control over your own personal income and tax liability, and can save on National Insurance costs.
If you are a company doing business with larger companies, then being Limited is often perceived as being more professional and gives you a higher degree of credibility.
Setting up, owning and operating a Limited Company takes time and commitment, and there are a number of strict processes which need to be adhered to. One of the easiest ways to release the administrative burden from your shoulders is to outsource it all to Woodmanston.
