REVIEWS FROM THE SIXTH EDITION
“an extremely practical text providing advice on regulatory, insolvency and accountancy issues … anyone involved in the running of a limited company should seriously consider buying it… is this really a text that you can do without?” Student Law Journal
“provides a useful reference point on all the major areas of concern” Director
“David Impey and Nick Montague’s best-selling manual arrives in the wake of the largest act of Parliament ever produced, the Companies Act 2006 …there are many important sections that should certainly be borne in mind by the officers or shareholders of a limited company … in addition to offering practical guidance on the implications of the new Act, the book also addresses the wider legal, accounting and tax compliance rules” The In-House Lawyer
REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS EDITIONS
“A really useful reference guide which covers all the key areas in running a company – definitely one to keep in the top drawer.” Nick Wilkinson, Managing Director, Takeda Telecom
“Running a Limited Company is easily the most clearly written book we have found on the legal and accounting aspects of business. It explains things simply yet thoroughly and, most importantly, shows us what we can handle ourselves and when we should seek professional advice.” Ken Warner, Managing Director, Warner Associates (UK) Ltd
"I purchased this book in 2003, to help me launch my first proper full-time company. It gave me the skills required to manage a registered limited company and ensure that I stayed within UK laws. Without this book, launching a company with no money for accountants/lawyers would have been much much harder." 7books.com
