Start Your Limited Company Before Summer? Four Reasons Not to Wait Until Autumn

Published: May 12, 2025, 11:49

Many who dream of starting their own business think autumn is a good time to put their plans into action. But waiting can mean that important opportunities are lost, both fiscally and strategically. By starting a limited company now, there’s a chance to be one step ahead on several fronts.

According to the automated accounting service Wint, there are clear advantages to starting the company before the summer, instead of after. Here are four reasons why June could be the new January – for those contemplating starting a business.

1. You Gain a Business Advantage in the Autumn

Starting your own business often involves a shift in life and everyday routine, but also a need for practical preparations. Those who wait until autumn to submit their company registration can quickly fall behind. Processing times, administrative decisions, and opening bank accounts usually take longer than expected, especially after the summer.

By having the company ready before the summer, there’s time to prepare the business in peace and quiet, build structure, and even land the first assignments. When the market picks up again in August, everything is already in place – including tax registration, account, and accounting system.

2. You Lay the Foundation for Dividends This Year

One of the major advantages of a limited company is the possibility of taking dividends at a lower tax rate, according to the rules for closely held companies. To make this possible, you need a so-called dividend allowance, and the company needs to have a profit to distribute from.

You can get the dividend allowance in the first year if the company is registered before the end of the year. But in practice, the timing of the year also plays a role. By starting the company in early summer, you have a significantly greater chance of getting the business up and running, starting to invoice, and creating the result required to actually take out the dividend.

3. You Increase the Chance of Being Able to Take Dividends Already at the First Financial Statements

If you wait until autumn, or even later, you can still get a dividend allowance on paper – but the risk is that it cannot be used because the company has not yet generated profit.

Getting started in good time is therefore not just about securing the allowance, but about the company having time to make a profit, so that the dividend can actually be taken out after the first financial statements.

4. With a Ready-to-Go Company, You Don’t Have to Think About Administration – and Can Focus on the Business

Starting a business is often associated with a lot of administration: application for tax registration, registration with the Companies Registration Office, contact with the bank, articles of association, and agreements. For those who also want to focus on their business idea, it can feel overwhelming.

Wint has developed a complete solution where it is possible to get started directly via a ready-made shelf company. This means that the company is already registered and linked to a company account – and that all ongoing accounting is automated from the start.

The shelf company is completely free for those who become customers of Wint. This means that you don’t have to pay registration fees and other administrative costs to get started – the only thing required is that you deposit the share capital, which then remains in the company as an asset. This allows you to be up and running with the business in no time – without having to familiarize yourself with the processes yourself.
