Business Structure

Choosing the right ownership structure for your business is very important, for taxation, commercial, and legal reasons, at the start of your business; and it should be kept under regular review throughout the business’s entire life cycle.

Getting this right, to suit the needs and circumstances of the business and its owner(s), can save an enormous amount of tax, avoid a whole lot of risk and remove a significant amount of anxiety from your working life.

In the UK alone, there are a whole host of options for “business vehicle”, including personal ownership, joint personal ownership, general partnership, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), limited company, trust ownership, pension fund, all with very different features, benefits and tax implications. Taking advice and planning your structure with experienced assistance, are highly desirable.
