Setting up a limited company for buy-to-let property investment

Overview of this guide

Are you thinking about setting up a limited company to invest in property but not sure if it’s right for you? Or are you ready to purchase your first buy-to-let and need to get a company set up pronto?

More and more investors are deciding to buy properties through a limited company. Running a company won’t be for everyone, but if you’re planning on building a property portfolio, such as buy-to-lets, HMOs and holiday lets, you’ll want to consider buying through a limited company.

Getting your company structure right from day one is really important. Depending on your long-term goals and portfolio growth plans, a limited company could make a big difference in the amount of tax you’ll pay and the speed at which you can grow your business.

You’ll learn about:

• The differences between owning property via a limited company and personally

• The advantages and disadvantages of limited companies
