Hello everyone,
Went through the other threads and did not find this topic discussed before.
The situation is the following:
Recently I have formed LTD company in the UK.
I'm the Director of the company and my partner is the administrator. We do not have other employees working for company. This monday I'm buying Toyota Aygo (low emmision car) through the company and this will be the asset in my company. Its only me and my partner who is going to drive that car. I'm driving 99% of time (commuting + leisure), but my partner is going to drive the car for 1% of time and for leisure only.
Now I'm trying to organise car insuarance, went to moneysupermaket and confused..... and now I'm really confused. The issue is I have to confirm the following assumptions (of all the insuerers): I'm the leagal owner and the registered keeper of the car..
At this point I'm lost.... I assume If my company pays for the car from business account, the company is the owner of the car. On the other hand, the company belongs to me (all 100% of shares), as a result I'm the owner of the vehicle as well????
Is it possible for me to pay for the car from my company business account, but use my name (not my company name) as the legal owner and the registered keeper of the car????
As far as I understand, company car insuarance is supposed to be more expensive and thats why I do not want to use them.... unless I have to.
Your advice is highly appreciated
Many Thanks,
Maxim
