No registration fees and minimal paperwork requirements. You keep all profits after tax, but remain personally liable for all business debts and legal issues.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Limited company<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Required as a minimum for most business ventures. This structure creates legal separation between you and the business and enables easier access to investment, business loans and international banking services. It\u2019s a more complex tax structure, but it offers greater flexibility for profit distribution and international expansion.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Business partnership<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This structure permits two or more people to share profits, losses and decision-making responsibilities. It requires clear partnership agreements to avoid conflicts over profit sharing and business decisions. Each partner remains personally liable for business debts.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Limited partnership<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Involves general partners, who are fully liable for business debts,\u00a0 and limited partners, who are only liable up to their investment amount. Best for investment\u2011heavy businesses, where the limited partners provide funds and the general partners handle operations. Profits and losses are shared based on agreement.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Limited liability partnership (LLP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">): Best for professional services like accountants, lawyers and consultants, as well as joint ventures and businesses where you need flexibility and protection. In an LLP, members are not personally liable for business debts. Profits are taxed individually like a business partnership rather than facing corporate tax rates. You\u2019ll need at least two members and an LLP agreement.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Overseas company<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Best for foreign companies that plan to set up a place of business in the UK or regularly carry out business activities here. Registration helps them access UK markets, banking services and legal protections while keeping their international business structure. Note that some types of companies \u2013 like partnerships and unincorporated bodies \u2013 can\u2019t register as overseas companies.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determining your business structure is the first step to registering your business in England.
