Details

This best selling title is a clear, thorough and straight-forward guide for directors and company secretaries of smaller or newly incorporated companies offering information on the legal, accounting and tax compliance rules and implications on running a business as a limited company.

Written in plain language and using practical examples, diagrams and checklists, Running a Limited Company is an easy-to-follow guide for both professionals and lay people. Within one handy volume, this text covers all the essential information required for establishing and managing a limited company.

Fully updated for 2013 this new edition has been completely updated to take in to account significant amendments made to the Companies Act 2006 in relation to the appointment and powers of proxies and corporate representatives to attend company shareholder meetings, registration of charges granted by a company to secure its borrowings and company share buy-backs.

It also includes changes in employment law and insolvency law. Chapter 13 also looks at the company’s need to use lawyers, accountants and bankers. It analyses the do-it-yourself versus buy-it-in decision, sets out the wide range of services on offer, and suggests how to get the most out of using professionals.

Reviews

REVIEWS FROM THE LAST EDITION

"...This text is a practical guide to those needing to be better informed of the legal implications of their functions and related business activities in the UK and elsewhere which have similar regimes."

"Like the traditional company law text, this manual guides the readers from birth or formation of companies to the point of insolvency. It is different beyond this. Foremost, the contents inculde materials not found in conventional company law text, like legal considerations when using the Internet to engage in ecommerce as in Chapter 14...."

"it is user-friendly where language and presentation are concerned but, above all, it is generally free of difficult legal jargon, case extracts, case commentaries and statutes other than a brief mention of the Companies Act 2006 and even then merely to stress that this seventh edition of the text takes into account the provisions of this important company law statue."

"this company law handbook is well worth its price. It will be particulary helpful to new entrants in business, small company operators at the various stages of the corporate life-cycle, and even to academics interested in the running or management of a limited company."
Peter Yeo
Business Law Review

"an excellent guide for directors and company secretaries of a private company limited by shares. It gives good overview of all aspects of the legal, accounting and tax compliance rules on running the company." German-British Chamber of Industry & Commerce

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
