Forming a UK business

Limited liability companies are the most common form of business organisation. This form of business is characterised by the limited liability of its owners, the issuance of share, and existence as a going concern.

Once formed the company has separate legal standing from its owners and protects those owners from being personally liable in the event that the company is sued (so-called limited liability).

Limited liability companies have a tax status which is different form its owners, as opposed to  partnership and limited liability partnership which are transparent for tax purposes.

We advise on most aspects of structuring and setting up your business in the UK to include:

  • Private limited company
  • Public limited company
  • Partnership
  • Limited liability partnership
  • Representative office
  • Branch office
