What is Limited company?

A business that is a separate legal entity from its owners.

A limited company is legally separate from you, which protects your personal assets (limited liability) and can be more tax-efficient at higher profits.

The trade-off is more admin: annual accounts, a confirmation statement and Corporation Tax. Your details also appear on the public register.
