Question
Can I invest my limited companies' monies in equities or property? If yes, are there any specialised brokers/platforms who deal with limited companies? For my own money I currently use Alliance trust savings for Investment Trusts and Hargeaves Lansdown for unit trusts.Answer
Yes, companies can invest in shares and property. However, many low cost stockbrokers and platforms don't offer this facility - Alliance Trust Savings and Hargreaves Lansdown among them.
Barclays Stockbrokers and TD Direct Investing do offer company trading accounts, allowing your company to trade both shares and funds. Just bear in mind that companies don't enjoy capital gains tax allowances. Any gains made from investing will count towards company profits - hence subject to corporation tax.
