‘Should I incorporate my property portfolio?

Shaz is frequently asked this question and in this finance Friday podcast he looks at the benefits of incorporating and creating a limited company. He provides great advice about the benefits but also shares his key take away – ‘one size doesn’t fit all’ you need to spend time looking closely at the reasons for becoming a limited company so that you can make an informed choice.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People should spend time deciding whether incorporation is or isn’t for them.
• A limited company gives you limited liability.
• As you grow your business a limited company may be a better route as there is less personal risk.
• If you have a limited company you are only liable for corporation tax.
• As a limited company, you have flexibility about the amount of income you take from the business each year.
• It’s easier to attract investment from third parties because there is more visibility for a limited company.
• There is a prestige value to having a limited company for some.
• A key driver for most is section 24, it has an advantage but you need to look closely if this is the only reason for operating as a limited company.
• There can be a capital gains advantage to being a limited company.
• You need to consider pensions and loans to participators as part of a limited company
