Choosing the Right Business Structure: UK LTD vs US LLC”
Ready to launch your business, but unsure which structure is right for you? Let’s explore the differences between UK LTD and US LLC:
UK LTD Company:
– Limited Liability: Shareholders’ liability is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares.
– Corporate Governance: UK companies must appoint directors and maintain company records, including annual filings with Companies House.
– Taxation: Subject to corporate tax on worldwide profits, with a current rate of 19%.
US LLC:
– Limited Liability: Owners (members) enjoy limited liability protection, shielding personal assets from business debts.
– Flexibility: LLCs have more flexibility in management structure and profit distribution compared to corporations.
– Pass-Through Taxation: Profits and losses “pass through” to the owners’ personal tax returns, avoiding double taxation at the corporate and individual levels.
