Whatever stage you\u2019re at, it is worth considering forming a&nbsp;limited company. This type of business structure has several advantages attached to it \u2013 limited liability for company debts being the primary one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Limited Liability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When operating as a limited by shares company, the financial liability of the owners (aka \u2018shareholders\u2019 or \u2018members\u2019) is limited to the nominal value of their shareholdings. Therefore, if a company issues 100\u00a0ordinary shares, each with a nominal value of \u00a31.00, the collective liability of the shareholders is limited to \u00a3100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When operating a limited by guarantee company, however, the liability of the owners (aka \u2018guarantors\u2019 or \u2018members\u2019) is limited to the amount they \u2019guarantee\u2019 to pay towards the company\u2019s debts, if required. This is because this type of limited liability company does not have shareholdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast to the limited company structure, sole traders and partners working within a&nbsp;traditional partnership&nbsp;are personally liable for all debts if the business gets into financial trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Tax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax efficiency is not far behind limited liability in terms of advantages. The likelihood is that you\u2019ll pay less personal tax as a director-shareholder of a limited company than you would as a sole trader or a partner within a traditional partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you end up paying less tax or not, one thing is certain \u2013 you will enjoy greater flexibility in your tax planning with a limited company than you would operating as a sole trader. So, what\u2019s the fundamental difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a nutshell, a sole trader pays Income Tax as well as Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance contributions on all taxable business profits. No other options are available. By contrast limited companies pay\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/corporation-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corporation Tax<\/a>\u00a0at a flat rate of 19%. This is lower than the varying rates of Income Tax in UK, which range from 20% to 45%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, with regards withdrawing money from a limited company, director-shareholders can do this in three ways: as a salary through PAYE; by taking dividends; and as a director\u2019s loan. These options provide a number of opportunities for implementing effective tax-planning strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A common practice is to take a minimal director\u2019s salary each month to cover personal bills and living expenses, combined with a higher sum of money withdrawn from the company each quarter in the form of dividends. This strategy legally minimises Income Tax and NI contributions because dividends are subject to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/tax-on-dividends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dividend tax<\/a>, which is&nbsp;only 7.5% for basic-rate taxpayers. There is also a \u00a32,000 tax-free dividend allowance, which further reduces the overall personal&nbsp;tax liability&nbsp;of director-shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another limited company tax benefit is to withdraw money in the form of a directors\u2019 loan. This is tax-free, provided the loan is repaid within 9 months of the end of the company\u2019s accounting period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also more scope to offset business expenses against profits through a limited company than as a sole trader, which would enable you to further reduce your tax bill. However, we would recommend that you speak to an accountant with regards allowable expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Separate legal entity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you register a limited company, your business becomes a separate legal entity that is entirely distinct from you. This means that your company will have its own legal personality, thus all business income will belong to the company, all business debts beyond the limited liability of members will be the responsibility of the company, it will have its own credit score, it will be able to enter into contracts, and it can own property and other assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third parties, therefore, will enter into contracts with your company, not you or any other directors or shareholders as individuals. This creates a level of security, particularly in relation to privacy and finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Reputation, credibility and trust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reputation, credibility, and trust that arise from trading as a registered company inspires confidence in customers, suppliers and potential investors. Indeed, many larger companies simply refuse to deal with any business that is not incorporated at Companies House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These benefits primarily come from the fact that anyone dealing with a registered company knows implicitly of the reporting and transparency obligations that exist under the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/2006\/46\/section\/1021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Companies Act 2006<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many ways, a sole trader entity is viewed as a one-person business with no formal structure, which may raise concerns with regards longevity and trustworthiness. It\u2019s an unfair assumption, but it is a common one nevertheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost to form a limited company and how long does it take?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost of forming a limited company is \u00a312 if you avoid the services of company formation companies. The form is very easy to complete on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/set-up-limited-company\">Companies House Website<\/a>, and takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After company registration, you will have to pay \u00a313 to Companies House when you file a Confirmation Statement every 12 months. You will also need to submit company accounts each year. Whilst you will not have to pay any filing fees, you may benefit from using the <a href=\"https:\/\/mywebaccountants.com\/index.php\/accounting-services-for-medium-and-small-sized-limited-companies\/\">services of an accountant<\/a>. This will likely be a bit more expensive because company accounts are often more complex than sole trader accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Who are Companies House and what is their role?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/companies-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Companies House<\/a>&nbsp;is the UK\u2019s registrar of companies and the official governing body responsible for incorporating companies, collecting and storing company information, and making this corporate data available to the public. As an executive government agency, Companies House also enforces corporate compliance under the Companies Act 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may already be self-employed, running a small business as a sole trader, or evaluating options for a new business idea you have.
