Setting up a Group of Companies

[Simonhatfield]

Hi,

I currently have shares in 3 companies, listed below.

Company A - Profit 50,000 - 50% share
Company B - Loss 10,000 - 100% share
Company C - Loss 10,000 - 50% share

I wondered if, retrospectively I could form a group company to take my shareholding of the above companies and then offset the loss making businesses against my share of the profit making business?

retrospectively

No, in one word

And to surrender losses, it must be a minimum 75% shareholding in any event

Cheers David.
