Business Structuring & Start-Ups
Get the foundations right from day one. We advise on the optimal legal and tax structure for your business.
Choosing the right structure at the outset can save significant tax throughout the life of your business. We advise on sole trader, partnership, company, and group structures, helping you incorporate efficiently and plan for early-stage tax efficiency.
Service Highlights
What You Need to Know
The choice between sole trader, partnership, and limited company has lasting tax consequences that are difficult and expensive to unwind. While sole trader status suits lower profit levels, incorporation typically delivers material savings once profits consistently exceed the £30,000 to £40,000 range, through the combination of the 19-25% corporation tax rate and tax-efficient dividend extraction. We assess your specific profit level, risk profile, growth plans, and investor requirements to recommend the right structure from the outset, and manage any restructuring with minimal tax cost where an existing business is changing form.
