What is Small Business Incorporation, and Should You Make the Move to a Limited Company?

Incorporation is the act of registering your small business as a limited company, rather than remaining a sole proprietor or partnership. This is one option available to you if you run a UK-based small business, and it can often make sense, both financially and legally, depending on your situation.

If your business makes a profit after you take out your salary, you could benefit from switching to a Limited Company Structure (LCS). That’s because profits are taxed at the corporation tax rate of 12.5 percent, which is significantly lower than the personal tax rate, which could be as much as 55 percent depending on your income.

The Benefits of Business Incorporation

Tax savings: Most businesses that register as limited companies or corporations receive tax deductions that help to improve their efficiencies. We estimate that our small-medium business clients save on average up to £3,500 when they register as a limited company through us.

Company share sales: One of the biggest benefits of registering as Incorporated, is that you can start selling company shares and generating additional revenue via shareholders. This is often a great way to boost small business growth.

Liability protection for company directors: Except in very particular cases, the directors of a limited company are not liable for that company’s debts, whereas sole traders are. You might have to make personal guarantees when accepting a business loan as a company director, but you’ll be much more insulated.

Is it Difficult to Register My Small Business as a Limited Company?

It can be, if you attempt to do everything yourself. That’s because there are quite a few options to choose from; including Limited Company Formation, Limited Liability Partnerships and a whole host of other setups that may sound very similar, but which actually have quite different legal and financial implications for your business. Not to mention a ton of financials to provide, I’s to dot and T’s to cross.

That’s why wedo accounting takes care of everything to do with business incorporation registration and ongoing administration for you. We keep you compliant, tax efficient and optimise your efficiencies.

We developed a business plan together

wedo accounting helped me to get more from my business, their business analysis allowed us to focus on our business strengths and we had a plan to address areas of weakness through a detailed action plan built for growth. What was really pleasing is recently my daughter got married and I was able to buy her a house and give her married life a great start. To be in business is often tough but being able to do that makes it all worthwhile.

We run a medium sized green grocer’s in Putney. We came to wedo accounting to look for help on planning for our retirement. I have to say they have been just brilliant, they listened to us and didn’t talk down to us or overwhelm us, it has all been very nice.

Getting Back Control

wedo have been so helpful. My business a bespoke fashion design business grew so quick that it became overwhelming, I worried constantly especially about not wanting to let people down and made myself quite ill. This forced me to stop and by chance I was introduced to wedo accounting. When I look back that first meeting was a real eye opener for me and with their help we built a business plan focused on managing our growth, that let me take back control over my business and I am really doing well and enjoying my business again.
