Get in touch with us today for further advice, and one of our friendly experts will be able to help.

Why is it important to set up your company correctly?

Deciding how your company should be structured is a fundamental part of forming your company. You have to consider setting up the right type of entity, in the right jurisdiction. In the Nigeria, there are several types of company structures such as: 

  • Limited companies limited by shares or guarantee 

  • Limited liability partnerships

  • Partnerships

  • Public limited companies

  • Charities

  • Non-profit organisations

All businesses are different and varying types of company structures have different benefits. Therefore, it is important to incorporate your company in a way that fits your business goals, structure, and needs. Choosing the correct setup can affect things like tax, compliance obligations, and company protection.

The team at Roberts Corporate can help you choose the correct setup by weighing up the pros and cons of each incorporation structure and assessing whether they fit with your business needs.
