close company

a UK resident company that is controlled by five or fewer participators together with their associates or by any number of participatory directors (together with their associates). Control is determined by the persons having the right to more than 50 per cent of the company's voting rights, share capital, distributable income, or assets on a winding up. A participator is widely defined to include anyone with a financial interest in the company, e.g. shareholders and debenture holders, but excludes those dealing with a company in the normal course of business, such as trade creditors and banks.

There are three potential consequences of close company status. First, any benefit provided for a participator, or an associate, which is not taxable as employment income will be treated as if it were a distribution of profit. As such, its cost will be disallowed in computing the company's profits and will be taxed as income in the hands of the recipient. Secondly, where a loan is made to a participator, or an associate, the company will be liable to pay an amount equal to 25 per cent of the loan to the revenue, unless the loan is repaid within nine months of the end of the accounting period. If the loan is repaid after that time, then the related amount of tax is repaid. Finally, if the company is a close investment company, it will have to pay the full rate of corporation tax regardless of the level of profit. This will happen unless it exists wholly or mainly for certain specified purposes, the main ones being the carrying on of a trade on a commercial basis or investing in land to be let out on a commercial basis to unconnected parties.

close company

Closed Corporation

A company in which a small group of shareholders controls the majority of the shares. These majority shareholders tend to hold on to the company's stock, and, for that reason, only minority shares are traded, leading to light trade volume. Closed corporations are, by their nature, resistant to hostile takeovers and proxy wars. They tend to be more stable than other companies because their share prices are not determined by (sometimes irrational) investment decisions, but by the value of the company itself. However, closed corporations do not have access to as much working capital as corporations with more shareholders. They are also called closely held companies.

close company

a JOINT-STOCK COMPANY which is under the control of five or fewer larger SHAREHOLDERS or directors.
