    Using alternative business names under one Ltd. company

    Thanks, precisely, that’s the option I describe in the second paragraph. What they want is slightly different, though. They want company ABC Ltd. trading as DEF and then have DEF on the invoice instead of ABC Ltd, a completely different brand. In some countries that is possible because the...

    Using alternative business names under one Ltd. company

    A company I do business with is originally from overseas but they also have a UK Ltd. to do business here, employ staff, own their fleet, pay tax etc. In their country it’s possible to officially register additional unique trade names under a Ltd. at their equivalent of Companies House. They can...

    Resigning as director from a Ltd. while it owes me money

    I am willing to go through the courts, at some point, but I feel it doesn't make sense to do it while the company doesn't have the funds as he may choose the insolvency route.

    Resigning as director from a Ltd. while it owes me money

    I’m in a difficult situation with a fellow company director with some potential legal aspects to it and am looking for some advice. A couple of years ago I was hired by the CEO of a company (let’s call it Ltd One) for some small consultancy work. Gradually that grew out into a more serious work...
