What's wrong with just withdrawing the funds and investing personally?

Nothing, I have a personal account with them and then noticed they do a company account and thought maybe, losses can be offset against tax or there is less tax to pay, or some other gain in company investments vs personal ones.

Personal investments vs Company

I see SelfTrade do a company investment account allowing your company to trade in all manner of investments with company money.

Pros and cons vs a personal account?

I assume a company allows me to lose all the companies profits on bad investments? What about tax?
