Running a Limited Company: the Owner’s Groundwork

The problem this course is for

You formed the company in an afternoon. Nobody told you what a director is actually on the hook for, which deadlines bite, or what “keeping proper records” means on a Tuesday.

Director duties, filings and record-keeping, set up once and kept tidy.

II · The week you’ll notice it working

The week you’ll notice it working

A one-page compliance calendar with every date filled in, and a records folder you will not have to rebuild in March.

That is what you finish with if you do the worksheets as you go. The lessons explain; the worksheets are where your own business goes onto paper.

III · The workbook
