Advantages and Disadvantages of Limited
The formation of any kind of company requires capital. The UK Limited
is a growing alternative to other accepted company corporations.
One of the advantages is that such a formation can easily be done over
the internet, but it also means that a company's registered address is
automatically placed in the UK. Thanks to the freedom of establishment
within the EU, businesses have the right to domicile in Austria and
will therefore be added to the Austrian commercial register.
