    Starting a Ltd Company

    Hi

    I think it could make sense for me to start a Ltd company. Is there any benefit to buying a company 'of the shelf' as opposed to choosing my own name and registering the company from scratch?

    Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong section.

    Many thanks

      What are your reasons for this?

      My own conclusion was to start from scratch as it can only take a few hours on line and is cheaper than paying to change the name. Also, my research found that any previous Directors/Owners would always be linked to the company.

      Would be good to understand your thoughts on this.

      Many thanks

        A few hours??? I created a Ltd company a few weeks ago and it took 30 mins and cost very little off the shelf ones cost hundreds of pounds and it takes just as long to change the names as to create the company! It is all done on line and the cert of incorporation is sent as a pdf!

          I would agree with Island Girl and Claymore. It is not difficult and much much cheaper than off the shelf company.
          Companies House are also amazingly helpful if you have difficulties.

              Considering selling our rental property and trying to estimate how much CGT is due. We are both basic rate tax payers and the gain from the property will take us into higher rate, so the amount of tax we pay will depend on income for that year – it does vary year to year. I presume the relevant income...

              Yes

              You do, or better an accountant but essentially you report and pay the gain at HMRC https://www.gov.uk/report-and-pay-yo...r-6-april-2020 estimating what you need to, and then report it again essentially in your tax return...

              You estimate your income for this year and declare and pay the tax accordingly.
              When you complete your tax return for the tax year, the figures are adjusted then....

              Hello again.

              Just wondering if someone can advise.

              If I sell a BTL to my children who do not own their own property, I understand that they'll get the stamp duty relief.... two questions then.

              If they're buying the £350,000 jointly, does the relief count for...

              If the buyers are going to rent the property while they go to university, it may meet the criteria for Stamp Duty Relief but it may not.
              It would be unusual for siblings leaving university to be able to commit to cohabit in a particular place when they graduate.

              There's obviously...

              Apart from anything else, if you are selling the property to the kids, you are getting cash and they have a 100% mortgage - and then they are not actually paying a mortgage on 100% of 350K you will be paying it -- it is not a classic GROB, but risks falling foul of GROB rules - so when you die, even...
