Running a limited company?
Directors’ responsibilities
As a director of a limited company, you must:
- follow the company’s rules, shown in its articles of association
- keep company records and report changes
- file your accounts and your Company Tax Return
- tell other shareholders if you might personally benefit from a transaction the company makes
- pay Corporation Tax
You can hire other people to manage some of these things day-to-day (for example, an accountant) but you’re still legally responsible for your company’s records, accounts and performance.
Why is London such a good place to do businesses?
London is a globally diverse marketplace: its 8m inhabitants speak over 300 languages, and the capital’s accessibility by rail and air make it an ideal place for a start-up with big ambitions. Small- to medium-sized businesses make up 99.8% of all London’s private sector businesses, and employ almost half of London’s workforce. In a tough economy, SMEs are continuing to thrive, generating an annual turnover of £430 billion.
Starting up in London
SMEs make up the core of our accounting practice at 2E, and we’re especially proud of the services we’ve developed to suit the needs of new and growing businesses.

"In the two years since setting up my business, i've had to change accountants twice – not out of choice but because was growing and I felt that they couldn't support me as much as I needed. When I met Riz to have a chat about our mutual businesses he explained how they worked and we just clicked. They set me up on Clearbooks so all my invoices are being logged as we're doing them and we both have access so that updates are immediate. I can now run reports on my own to get an overview of my financial situation at any time – a huge advantage for any small business. Riz and his 2E team have revolutionised my life – no more spending weekend doing VAT or Tax returns and i'm confident that everything is in perfect order in their hands!"
