Frequently Asked Questions
What's actually different now I'm a limited company?
Three big things: you pay Corporation Tax instead of Income Tax via Self Assessment, you're a director who gets paid salary and/or dividends, and you have Companies House filing obligations. Finn handles all three and explains them as you go.
I did my own Self Assessment. Can I do my own Ltd company accounts?
Yes. If you managed Self Assessment, you can manage Ltd company accounts with the right tools. It's different, not necessarily harder. Finn guides you through the differences and handles calculations automatically.
How do I pay myself now I'm a company director?
Usually a mix of salary (up to the NI threshold) and dividends. Finn calculates the optimal split based on your expected profit and personal circumstances. No more wondering if you're doing it right.
What about my existing freelance clients?
Your relationships continue. You just invoice from your Ltd company instead of personally. AccountsOS handles professional invoicing with your company details. Clients usually don't notice or care about your company structure.
