Investing Ltd Co funds

[NowPermOutsideUK]

I have used InteractiveInvestors in 2017 for ETF trading using a business account with no issue. Not sure what the rules are nowadays

Hi CUK,

I intend to ask my accountant next week - but I’d appreciate hearing from others that have invested from their Ltd before.

Is it as easy as signing up to a S&S brokerage in my companies name and depositing / investing into indexes/shares as I please?

I’m going to stop withdrawing from my Ltd Co for a while whilst still working my outside contract, so there’s going to be a decent sized pot building up that I’d like to start investing for the longer term.

Your Ltd's SIC code does not need changing at all, a company investing its own accrued capital is extremely normal, at least a % is, for me 20-25% post tax funding is about right. I wouldn't day trade or trade with any frequency within a Ltd. due to capital gains events which will become an absolute nightmare accountancy-wise. Dollar cost averaging is my personal strategy and circumvents accountancy complications until profits/loss are realised.

Interactive Investor gets another vote from me in terms of platforms for Ltds.
