At present there are a number of different legal bases for UK businesses: as a sole trader, via a partnership, through a Private Limited Liability Company and via a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). It is also possible to set up in business as a Public Limited Company (PLC) and as a Co-operative, but only very few start ups meet the criteria to use either of these. There are basically two ways of obtaining a Limited Liability Company through which to trade. Acquiring a company which has already been incorporated but is not trading (known as "dormant company" and commonly referred to as buying a "ready-made company"), or alternatively setting-up a new limited company from scratch.

General Advantages Of UK Limited Liability Companies:

1. Liability is, in the vast majority of cases, strictly limited to the investments made by the shareholders.
2. Company Officers are not personally liable for their actions unless, there is a clear and serious breach of their fiduciary duty.
3. Despite the limited liability, such entities often benefit from greater prestige than their sole proprietorship or partnership counterparts. The reason is because such an enterprise normally requires more planning and thus is deemed more credible.
4. They often benefit from significant tax advantages. In fact, many countries around the world give exclusive tax incentives to this type of entity.
5. The rights of shareholders are normally clearly defined and protected. Promotes good record keeping.
6. Corporate taxes only become payable after the end of the financial year. This means that money that would otherwise be taxed on a monthly or quarterly basis, is available to earn further money before the final payment of tax.
7. You must appoint a minimum of One Director and One Shareholder.
8. Directors can be corporate bodies or private individuals.
9. A Director can be of any nationality.
10. All companies must appoint a company Secretary. A Secretary can be of any nationality.
