Business Structures and Group Organisations
Build your business on the right foundations
Whether you’re starting out, scaling up, or restructuring an existing business, getting the structure right is crucial for tax efficiency, liability protection, and long-term success.
At JMT Chartered Accountants, we provide clear, practical advice on choosing and implementing the most effective business structure for your goals, from sole traders and partnerships to limited companies and complex group arrangements.
How we can help
Choosing the right structure
We guide you through the pros and cons of operating as a sole trader, partnership, LLP, or limited company, tailored to your commercial and tax objectives.
Group structures and reorganisations
We advise on setting up holding companies, subsidiaries, and special purpose vehicles to optimise group performance, ringfence risk, or manage investments.
Company formations and registrations
We handle all Companies House filings and can form new entities with the correct share classes, shareholder agreements, and articles.
Tax planning across entities
We ensure your structure is designed to minimise tax leakage, including the use of group reliefs, loss offsets, and dividend strategies.
Group VAT and payroll schemes
We assess eligibility and register your business for group VAT or PAYE arrangements to reduce admin and improve cash flow.
Restructuring and exit planning
From mergers and demergers to preparing for sale or succession, we support strategic changes with minimal disruption and maximum tax efficiency.
