Does anyone have experience of unlimited companies? I am looking to grow my self-employed bookkeeping / accounting business, and have just come across a possible new client: someone has set up a little retailing business as an unlimited company. I believe such a business has to register at Compa...

Does anyone know how a disolved company can be restored? Bascially one of my clients had a dormant company they had struck off 12 months ago (they weren't using it). Now they want to use the company. Is getting a company restored easy, expensive etc? Cheers

A client had a CCJ against it about 3 years ago which was settled fairly quickly in full. The bank are now saying that the CCJ is still showing as not discharged at Companies House. I rang Companies House to find out what we needed to do to mark it as discharged only to be told they didn't keep records of CCJs...

Good week so far for new clients but all seem to be in an absolute mess! Just picked up a new limited client whose annual return is way overdue. They've received a gazette notice saying the company will be struck off if the record isn't brought up to date. If I submit the annual return now will this automat...

I'm after a bit of advice. Someone I work for asked me a while ago to fudge his wages to show a higher pay, for a mortgage which I refused to do. He then got his dad who owns the business to give him a wage rise to show higher earnings. Where do I stand with knowing about the fact that this is going on and he will be...

A client asked me today if a foreign company is allowed to own the shares in a uk limited company. I have never been asked this before but I am guessing that it is ok. WhatIi am confused about is how any dividend distributions made by the company are dealt with if the company that owns the shares is outside...

I recently met a client who made their own LLP company. After I had explained that they could not use the money drawn from the company as dividends, they have decided that they would now like to be a ltd company. I understand that you cannot change an LLP to a Ltd company with companies house, but I am not s...

I normally use Companies Made Simple for my limited company incorporations and at approx £20 I thought they were cheap. But I've just come across a website called golimited.co which claims to charge just £4.50 for setting up a limited company. How can they charge so little, I thought the Companies Ho...

I'm new to the forum but really need some help if possible. I complete the bookkeeping for a small limited company and their accountant is away on holiday.

I have been reading back through lots of the older posts on this forum and other similar forums and there are lots of posts about Ltd Company v Sole Trader.

I'm trying to file a set of abbreivated accounts at Companies House (first year). Everything goes ok until I try and submit. It's got stuck just after the submission, as my browser didn't trust the source. Is anyone else having issues filing at Companies House or is it just me?

Morning Guys, One of my clients who originally said they were a Ltd Company has now brought in their records and they are actually an LLP.

Morning all, I have been asked by several clients if they could use my business address as their registered office address.
