Limited Company in the UK

What is a Limited Company in the UK?
A Limited Company (LTD) is a popular legal structure in the UK, ideal for those who want to run a business with personal asset protection and tax advantages. In this model, the business is a separate legal entity from its owner, meaning the director’s personal assets are protected from company debts.
For Brazilians living in the UK, setting up a Limited Company is a great way to formalise their activities, gain more credibility, and optimise taxes.
