Are you looking to set up a limited company? A limited company is a great way to give your business a professional edge, it makes your business its own entity and allows you to experience a range of benefits including limited liability and tax efficiency.

Creating a new limited company may sound daunting but it is actually a relatively straightforward process. It can be made even easier by the assistance of an accountant. Mistakes, although easy to make, can be costly and difficult to rectify so it is recommended that you ensure all the documents needed are completed correctly before being returned to Companies House – many people use a specialist accountant or company formation agent for this.

The documents that need to be submitted include the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association as well as other forms stating the names and addresses of director’s, the registered limited company address and confirming compliance with the Companies Act. As the limited company director, you will have some legal responsibilities to the limited company so this is something to keep in mind.

These requirements include:

• Registration at Companies House
• Annual accounts and returns filed with Companies House
• Annual abbreviated accounts sent to HMRC
• Completion of an annual HMRC Corporation Tax return.
