At A1 Care we take care of our team, that is why we support you in becoming a limited company (LTD) as a live in care worker. Having 'limited' status means you have a company as an entity with its own right. This has several advantages.
As long as the company name you want to use is available, (you can find out by using our company name checker), you’ll have exclusive rights to that name. But, don’t forget to check the trade mark registry as well.
‘Limited liability' means you will not be personally liable for any financial losses made by the business. In this way a limited company gives you added protection, should things go wrong.
• Because a limited company is a distinct entity from its owners, it may be easier for a company to secure business loans and investment.
• A limited company may benefit from tax advantages. You would be advised to seek professional help to make maximum use of the rules and regulations with regard to pensions, dividends and car ownership.
Registering a limited company will only cost L12 if you apply online. You’ll be required to send information to be confirmed or updated on a yearly basis. The good news is, you can use someone to do all of this for you (an accountant, for example). But, most of these requirements can now be done painlessly online.
