Limited liability is now the preserve of the free-loaders https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/08/21/limited-liability-is-now-the-preserve-of-the-free-loaders/. Unless action is taken to end abuse the ready availability of limited liability companies is now just a licenced mechanism for free-loaders to abuse society.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

Funding the Future
@RichardJMurphy I would add one other reform. Directors should be required to pass a test before being allowed to take office. Firstly this would allow them to be more easily identified (assuming the licence issued had a number, as driving licences do, and that number is recorded with the information on record in Companies House), and secondly it would stop the vast numbers of people who acquire limited companies with little or no knowledge of the legal responsibilities that entails.
