Advantages of being a Limited Company

Sole trader versus a limited company

A sole trader is an individual in business who is personally responsible for the debts and liabilities of that business
A limited company takes on a separate legal existence from the individual shareholders. The shareholders are only personally responsible for the debts and liabilities of the company to the extent of their unpaid share capital
The shareholders’ liability is limited only to the amount of share capital contributed by them
The personal assets of directors or shareholders cannot be seized to pay off company debts
Unlike a sole trader or partnership, a company has a separate legal existence. This means that it is the company itself which owns property and that it is the company which may sue and be sued in respect of the business of the company
The registered Business Name of a sole trader is not protected against duplication. The name of a limited liability company is protected
A limited company qualifies for corporation tax at 12.5%.
The company continues to trade irrespective of director or management changes until the company is wound up.
