Back to EpisodesWhy Having Too Many Companies Can Kill Your Cash Flow #137
Description
Having more than one limited company feels like smart planning until it pushes your business into a completely different tax regime. In this episode, we unpack why the £1.5 million corporation tax threshold isn't a single number, it's a number that gets divided across every company you control, and why that catches so many growing businesses off guard. If you've ever set up a company because "that's what everyone does" for property or acquisitions, this one is for you.
Key Topics Covered
- Why the corporation tax "large company" threshold gets split between every company you own
- The real difference between paying tax annually and paying it in quarterly instalments
- How op-co, prop-co, and hold-co structures can bring the threshold down without you realising it
- The associated companies rule and how family shareholdings can unexpectedly count against you
- Practical ways to balance profit across multiple companies to avoid a cash flow cliff edge
- When it makes sense to simplify or consolidate your company structure
