Investing through holding company

Afternoon everyone

Can anyone recommend platforms/brokers which allow investment accounts for LTD companies as well as individuals? Interactive Broker and Invest Engine do business accounts, but can't find many others!

Cheers!

Is it an investment company or a trading company?  (the providers/platforms will sometimes offer trading companies but not investment companies).

One of the most common tax wrappers to use with a limited company is the offshore bond as, depending on your accountancy method, you can decide which years you update the value of the bond and therefore the tax you pay.   If your business is prone to having the occasional loss year or will be close to the 26.5% corp tax band coming in next tax year, then this can be a way to help control taxation.  

Not all platforms offer an offshore bond wrapper.

Thank you for your reply, it's an investment company.
