What is a Limited Company?
A limited company means that the business and personal finances of the owner are separate. The term “limited” refers to the limited liability of the shareholders (or owners), meaning they will only be liable for the amount they have invested into the company and will not be personally liable for any debts the limited company has.
Do All Contractors Need to Set Up a Limited Company?
The short answer to this question is no, however most contractors will find that operating through a limited company will be the best solution. Having your own limited company will, in most cases, be the most tax efficient option, whilst giving you complete control of your finances.
