    Limited vs Ltd

    I'm well aware of everything and I'm more than capable of using a computer. If you're not going to provide useful input, then I suggest you do not reply at all. I was simply confused by the wording surrounding the legality of using the word "limited" if you do not appear as "limited" at...

    Limited vs Ltd

    Hi, My company is registered as Ltd at Companies House. What I've heard is, if it's registered as Ltd, you can only use Ltd when stating your company name, what else I've heard is, if you're registered as Limited, you can use either Ltd or Limited when stating your company name. Is this true...

    Mobile fish and chip van

    Considering how awesome this countries Health and Safety regulations are (if theres a crack in the pavement, a council workman goes to jail for negligence), I think you might have to do a little bit more than "fasten the lids down". Unless you've got really good lids, then I think you might...

    Self-accountancy

    I've used Solar accounts before and I did find it very easy to use. Unfortunately, everyone I know who could provide me with free support and help use Sage. I was going to go down the Sole Trader route, but as I'll be doing internet services, if something went wrong, it would most likely be a...

    Self-accountancy

    Hi guys, I've got a pretty tricky dilema, I'm the director of my limited company, I don't employ anyone, and I'm about to start trading. Now, heres the issue. I will be doing roughly 4 - 6 transactions a month, with an annual turnover that's below the VAT threshold. I'm stuck between paying...
