If you want to know more about the different aspects of setting up a limited company or get answers to general questions about the subject, you will find a lot of useful information in this guide:

Avoid unnecessary mistakes

It is easy for a start-up entrepreneur to make unnecessary mistakes, for example with taxation and articles of association. You’ll find it much easier to get things right if you do it all at once with a professional.

Mistakes do not usually overturn the creation of a limited company, but they can affect business operations and often add unnecessary work and costs.
