  • A social enterprise is a business that works to
  • help society or the environment in some way. To
    ensure that they continue to work towards
    societal or environmental goals, these
    businesses must be open about the pro ts they
    reinvest

    a social enterprise, is to serve the greater
    good of society. It is, however, unique in that
    all of its pro ts come from donations.
  • Each company has its own set of rules and
    criteria. You may want to seek a professionals
    legal advice before proceeding.
  • Private Limited Firm
  • A Private Limited business must be administered
    by an appointed Director in addition to any
    shareholders. The nances of a limited company are
    separate from your personal nances as the
    founder. If you are the companys sole employee,
    you can still register as a limited company by
    naming yourself as the Director.

  • Maintain a record of the companys activities
  • and report any changes
  • Accounts and corporate tax returns must be
  • led
  • Corporation Tax must be paid
  • Although employees can be hired, a Director is
    still legally responsible for the companys
    records, accounts, and performance.
  • Because it is a separate legal entity, the
    company has its own bank account and is subject
    to corporate tax. Corporation tax can be
    registered at the same time as your business is
    registered with Companies House, but unlike
    income tax, all pro ts made by a business are
    taxed, so there is no tax-free exemption. In
    contrast, the government allows for expenses and
    deductions that may reduce the amount of
    corporate tax owed.
