Tuesday, February 27th, 2024: 50,004 limited companies were incorporated for property investment in 2023 and in the same year 74% of rental properties were bought through limited companies, according to Hamptons. The number of buy-to-let limited companies has grown over five times in the past decade. The major growth in this structure for property investment should be met with equal growth and development in the products and services related to the structure. Our announcement today highlights how we plan to start providing property investors using limited companies services tailored to their specific needs.
Conor Kilcoyne, Head of Company BU at GetGround, said: “We are excited to introduce our Accounting and Tax service for landlords using limited companies. Currently, accounting and tax is entirely manual and costly for landlords, they have to collect all their receipts, keep on top of their ongoing accounts on a monthly basis, and manage their end-of-year tax returns - this is all a real pain for them. There was no software technology in the market that could assist landlords with their specific buy-to-let accounting needs. So, we created a digitalised Accounting and Tax service to solve this problem and make the process automated, less time-consuming and much more efficient.”
GetGround has been incorporating buy-to-let limited companies and servicing them in a digital manner on our online platform for over 5 years. We know exactly what issues landlords face, that’s why we now offer limited companies that were not incorporated by us to be onboarded onto our platform and benefit from our Accounting and Tax service.
Kilcoyne adds: “We’re specialists in residential buy-to-let property investment and our products reflect this. So our accounting and tax service is designed for property investors and ensures they have a seamless journey entirely on the GetGround platform. Once a limited company has been onboarded onto our platform, the GetGround Accounting and Tax service is inclusive of a business account for the limited company, secretarial services, post management, and management of the registered office address. The technology-based service means we can automate accounts and tax filings which saves time and allows investors to spend more time focusing on their property investing strategy and goals. Investors can also access Investment Pots which let them invest their company cash into a low-risk rated* money market fund to benefit from daily growth. Capital at risk.”
