In issue of problems, Whether, Is incorporating a business into a limited company beneficial to


traders? Another factor to consider when deciding whether or not to incorporate as a company is

Whether or not the expense and complexity incurred by a company as opposed to a partnership
relates to the company's accounts.

In general, the Company Law of 1994 establishes that a company is subject to statutorily
mandated rules and regulations governing its operation and management.

A company must be registered, which incurs fees. There will be legal fees payable to the solicitor
who drafts the new company's memorandum and articles of association (together, the company's
constitutional documents), which are essential and outline the company's aims, methods, and
rules of business life.

severally liable for the entire value of their trading losses.

and when circumstances require it. Such a change would normally involve and require an
alteration to the company’s articles of association. A company is seen as a separate legal person,
which means it can contract and be held liable in its own name. This has ramifications for the
liability of the directors, and is generally seen as a benefit of a company. Only a company (and
not a partnership) can create floating charges over their assets. This is significant when it comes
to raising finance by way of granting security. It will probably be easier for a company to raise
the requisite finance than for a partnership to do so. It is also significant (or may be) that an
unlimited number of people can become members of a company, whereas a partnership is limited
to twenty partners. If and when the company grows and develops, it will be in its interests to be
unlimited in the number of new members it can obtain.
