Introduction

Many business owners decide to operate their new enterprises through a limited company, as opposed to being an unincorporated business (i.e. a sole trader or partnership). In addition, over recent years large numbers of business owners have transferred their existing unincorporated businesses to companies, in many cases to take advantage of potentially lower tax rates.

As always, this guide is for general guidance only, and specific professional advice should be sought where appropriate based on particular circumstances.
