Shaz gives a great overview and the key information that anyone needs to make a decision about whether a limited company is the right structure to choose for their business

There are different business structures available and many people are not aware of the advantages of a limited company structure from being able to plan for inheritance tax to liability.

Along with the advantages Shaz also shares some of the possible challenges of the limited company structure meaning you can listen in and get a great overview

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can plan for inheritance tax with a limited company with different types of shares
• If you are a limited company you will pay less in corporation tax
• When you own a property in your name, you are personally liable if something goes wrong
• A limited company is a separate entity so if something goes wrong you are not personally liable unless you have given a personal guarantee
• You can control what gets paid to you and when through both your salary and dividends with a limited company
• A limited company will cost more in compliance costs and the level of regulation is higher
• The rates for lending are usually higher and there are fewer lenders available to limited companies
