Company formation

So you want to set up your own company but you are unsure of the right direction to go in… don’t worry we are here to help.

It is important to get the structure right from the very beginning and use the right vehicle to get you to were you want to be.

We will advise you on the best road to take and take care of the setting up process on your behalf.

Why should I get help when forming a company?

Incorrect company structures can be costly
  • Forming a company with the incorrect share structure could be very costly! We will undertake a tax review and provide advice to ensure the company is set up with the appropriate share structure, share capital and officers.
  • You want to get it right from the very beginning!

    • The correct vehicle to use
    • The most tax efficient share structure to use depending on your circumstances
