Limited Companies
In the pages listed on the right we set out those services we can provide limited companies and their directors and shareholders. We also provide advice on what to think about when considering whether to set up such a business.
The notes deal only with those companies that are resident in the UK for tax purposes. This could also be relevant to a UK-registered subsidiary of an overseas company, though advice should be sought if you are contemplating this. We can provide specialist advice if you intend to set up abroad.
We can help with compliance issues, such as forming the company (or plc) in the first place, getting the company registered with HMRC, advice on setting up the company's accounting records and preparing regular management accounts. We can prepare the year end financial statements and deal with tax requirements on your behalf.
We can also advise on ways to mitigate tax and national insurance, especially for owner-managed companies.
This section does not include any reference to any special approvals or licences that may be required for a specific business.
In this section, the term “company” is used to describe the limited company itself.
