50k government protection

[pippidog]

if personal protection for savings is now 50k how does this affect you being a director of a ltd company, do you have a seperate protection on your business?

Your personal accounts are covered, as you would expect.

Money held in accounts in the name of a limited company are only protected if the company is classed as a "Small" company under the Companies Acts.

These protections are separate, so you would be able to make a claim personally, and the ltd company, if it is eligible, would be able to put in a separate claim.

Thanks for your answers, still need a bit more if you can help. If a ltd company as 3 directors are each of them covered for 50k or is it the business itself, which would mean 50k in total?

Just one lot of �50k. The limited company is a separate legal entity, so it doesn't matter how many directors there are.
