Business structure

Company

Company may be the right business structure for you.

A company can be expensive and complex to set up and run. It tends to suit people who:

  • expect their business income to be unpredictable
  • want to limit the risk of losing personal assets such as their home.

A company means your business is a separate legal entity from you. It has at least one owner (shareholder) and one director. You can be both.

Guidelines for use

Purpose:

The results snapshot component gives users a short summary of their results including:

  • their recommended business structure
  • how many required and recommended registrations are included in their results
  • how to email their results for later.

When to use this component:

Used in the Work out your business registrations tool results page.

Content guidelines:

  • Keep the result sentence concise.
  • Use the accordion details to explain why the result may suit the user, not to repeat the full results list.
  • Pass required and recommended counts into the include so the snapshot stays consistent with the detailed results below it.
