Business Services and Start-Ups
We do understand just how hard it is to start up, literally. We want Purpose to be the partner of choice for businesses from cradle to grave. We incorporate companies and we can help with applications for S/EIS clearances if required.
S/EIS clearance refers to obtaining approval from HMRC to ensure that an investment in a company qualifies for tax relief under the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) or the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS).
We also work on the investment documents and advise on loan versus equity structuring.
Business Formation and Structure
Choosing the right legal structure affects liability, taxation, and operational flexibility. Common structures include:
- Sole Proprietorship: Simple but lacks liability protection.
- Partnership: Shared ownership but requires clear agreements.
- Limited Liability Company (LLC): Offers liability protection with flexible taxation.
- Private Limited Company (Ltd): Ideal for scaling, attracting investors, and maintaining limited liability.
