That way you have more money 'up front', as your not paying tax on your dividend, and you have no CGT. However, you would have to pay income tax when you paid yourself a dividend.
There are loads of threads on this, so much so it's a minefield.
However, having 25% extra to invest creates a margin that is hard to beat. There is the risk that HMRC will class you as an Investment vehicle, and you'll pay an extra 8% corporation tax. But even that only applies to massive gains on your investment.
