Incorporate Now or Wait? The Best Time to Register Your UK Business Starting a business in the UK? One of the most common questions we hear is: Should I incorporate now, even if I’m not earning yet? In this video, Ian from Your Company Formations breaks it down in simple, clear terms to help you make the right decision for your startup journey. Incorporating a limited company early brings instant credibility. Whether you’re opening a business bank account, pitching to investors, or negotiating with suppliers, having “LTD” after your name shows you’re serious about your venture — even if revenue hasn’t started flowing. Another big advantage? Legal protection. Incorporating separates your assets from your business, giving you peace of mind if things don’t go as planned. From a tax perspective, operating as a limited company can often be more efficient depending on your income and circumstances. You can also claim pre-trading expenses — like software, equipment, and branding — helping reduce future taxable profits.
