Limited companies provide limited liability protection, safeguarding personal assets of shareholders from company debts.
All business financial transactions are separate from the business owners.
Another benefit is commercial credibility: other companies are more likely to be interested in working with a limited company.
In some industries, it is even impossible to trade if you are not a limited company.
Limited company status is also necessary to allow outside investors to buy shares in your company.
Directors manage the limited company's day-to-day operations and decision-making, while shareholders are owners who hold shares and have voting rights but are not involved in daily management, with their liability limited to the value of their shares.
In most small businesses, the shareholder and the director is the same person. Companies House requires shareholders of a limited company to have at least one share, but there is no upper limit to the number of shareholders held by a shareholder.
The value of each share can be as little as £1.
Once your limited company is incorporated, you can start trading immediately.
It typically takes one business day to incorporate a company, with the process beginning when you fill out the online registration form and your application is submitted to Companies House.
You’ll know your limited company is registered when you receive an email with your Company Number, Incorporation Certificate and Authentication Code.
