You can have a different trading name to your registered name, garder & co trading as ladder garder window cleaning. That way competitors will have a job finding you on companies house, but again it would only be garder & co thats name would be protected.

See here for example - http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/2c0ee8b3fa07eedfbde5b03c6bb47fa1/compdetails

Last Accounts Made Up To: 31/05/2009  (TOTAL EXEMPTION SMALL)

The TOTAL EXEMPTION SMALL is the part that tells you the accounts are not a full set.

Oh that is priceless er ... very helpful davids3511! 

Bugger!

thats not a fair example, whoever this company is, they are ltd, but just in name, they are not earning the amounts that most ltd companies earn ( or aim to earn )

my guess is its just some1 attempting to look the part ( being ltd ) , but as most know, its not hard to find the details out from companies house, so when this AQUA TECHNOLOGY LIMITED act the big boys for contracts, when a little research is done it doesnt add up and they look what they are ( a company trying to look big )

As usual matt, you dont know what your talking about.

A "small" limited company is one that turns over less than £5.6 million.  "Small" have whats called a small companies exemption, they only have to file abbreviated accounts.  I have looked into this as I am becoming limited later this year, as there are several tax advantages.

My advice Matt, is that when you don't know what you're talking about, just say nothing.

someone explain it to him  : :  ( use simple terms though ) :, look a little deeper and you will get the reason of my post  : :

as i happens , i have run a ltd company as a builder , so funny enough, i understand it ( though a fair bit has changed since then )

oh and as you seem to miss alot ( more than a blind person ) you might want to take your own advice and just say nothing

Don't quite understand why Matt is being bashed, even if he can be a socialist, we all spout on here about things we know nothing about.

My reading was that like me he couldn't weight 'steve' up. He seems to have deleted but i would have liked to have known more.Having to take a few more insults would have been a price worth paying for me.

And thats because i'm nosey, the website had a pic of reuben pretty much as the brochure.Who would do that? Why? I would want a pic of me and my own van.

Ltd? he only had 500 custys.How did that work, is limited like vanity publishing. One guy that used to post on here was limited and he only had a back pack, and two years in posted with pride that he'd paid for a foreign holiday.

My knowledge of limited is very err limited, but i heard it was good for tax once you earned over about forty k, and got better as you went past 80k as you could pay yourself dividends and get taxed at a lower rate.

The problem seems to be not knowing the difference between a directors dividend and being a divv.

How can you possibly make the assertion that because a company has the small company exemtion that it is "some1 attempting to look the part" and "a company trying to look big"

You simply cannot.

The only thing that is possible to conclude from that is that they are turning over less than £5.6 million.  Not, as you seem to think, that the are just trying to look big.

I hope you say some more, I'm interested to know just how much you are willing to comment on a subject you clearly know nothing about.  This thread illustrates my point about you perfectly.

[Gleaming windows]

£5.6 million does appear to be the threshold point that Companies House view as being when you move from small to umm, big?

Im not in that category yet, Im going to speak to Companys House this week if I get time, get them to clarify a point or two I want answering.

[gerard mcmanus]

slump thats a nice post, and I to think it is something like that, my partner is an accountant and told me something similar a while back, I think it was something like there is no 647l allowance but the rate is lower so once you are earning so much its worth your while, but I think there was something in the pipeline for that to be changed so best getting your info from the horses mouth so to speak.

right in simple terms ( just for you )

stephen s  was engaging in banter the other night ( as he does, i found alot of it tounge in cheek , the if you dont spend big money on a van and system post sums it up )

davids3511 noticed and found the company stephen s was trading as ( AQUA TECHNOLOGY LIMITED ) and used it as a example

thus my reply, a little bit of banter with stephen s

i notice that stephen s replied and took it for what it was, a bit of banter

then you come alone and seem only to happy topost when it didnt really have anything to do with you, but hey, as long as your repling to me, your life is complete  :


fore the record, imho when a 1 man bad goes ltd, its for 1 reason and 1 reason only
