Slide 6: A1 forms around 10% of all UK companies each year. The total number of annual formations range between 300,000 and 350,000 and have declined slightly due to the current economic conditions. With a favourable tax climate as is currently in place in the UK (particularly the increasing of the National Insurance rates announced in the November 2008 Pre-Budget report the use of companies compared to sole traders and partnership confers many advantages. The simplification of audit and disclosure regulations has also narrowed the cost of running companies compared to sole traders and partnerships. www.a1companies.com
