Limited Company Packages

What Is A Limited Company?

A limited company is an organisation whose owners are legally responsible only for the capital they invest. The general idea behind a limited company is to place a limit on the liability of the company’s shareholders. This means that if a business goes into administration, the shareholders will only be liable for the amount of money they initially invested.

The benefits of starting a limited company compared with sole trading include:

Protection through limited liability

• Limited company holders are more insulated than sole traders from any particularly disastrous failures
• The liability held by the shareholders of a limited company will be capped at the amount initially paid into shares plus any unsecured loans to the company
• The directors of the company will not be held entirely responsible for financial losses, except under exceptional circumstances such as fraud

Tax and National Insurance efficiency

• If you pay yourself a small salary, as the director, and most of your supplementary income is in the form of dividends, you won’t have to pay employer or employee NI Contributions.
• Dividends are taxed less than salary, and are not subject to National Insurance. However, if you are a sole trader, you will have to pay National Insurance on your whole income.

Improved credibility

• People may view you as more professional if you are a limited company
• Some clients will only work with limited companies and will not deal with unincorporated businesses
• Being a limited company could break your glass ceiling

Easier to finance

• Because a limited company acts as a separate legal entity, it can be easier to finance
• You can raise capital through selling shares and attracting investors: sole traders will have to raise capital on their own.
• Easier sale of the business – if you are fortunate enough to have built up a business that can be sold, a limited company structure is usually far better.
• Your business and personal arrangements, assets and liabilities are clearly segregated, removing any doubt over what the business consists of
• After the sale of the business you will normally not be responsible for the business in any way; for example any guarantees you provided to customers will remain the responsibility of the company and its new owner
• Your suppliers and customers will continue to deal with the company, not you personally, so contracts will not need to be renewed
• Customers are more likely to remain loyal to the business as they experience little or no disruption by the change in ownership
