Starting up a business can be a daunting task. There are a number of different types of business structures to choose from and the factors that should influence your decision could relate to will be whether you are personally liable on insolvency and to how much time will be taken on dealing with red tape. Partnership structures are more popular with certain types of professional companies such as lawyers and solicitors, whereas companies are the most common known of all business vehicles. The structure you choose will depend on a number of features particular to your business aims and ambitions.
The most popular type of legal structure is the limited liability company. They are popular because they are considered separate persons in the eyes of the law. This gives them a distinct identity which can be disassociated from shareholders and directors. Companies can own assets and have obligations to third parties. What this means is that the directors and shareholders of the company are generally not liable for the companies actions. If a company owes a debt to a third party, that third party cannot seek to get the money off a creditor.
