Once your business gets to a certain size and turnover, there's real value in assessing the company structure and how to make tings more tax-efficient.

Setting up a holding company is one way to start creating an ordered and effective group structure.  And by moving any surplus cash up from your trading company to your new holding company, you protect your profits and can, potentially, reduce your tax liabilities.
