Doctors who provide locum shifts, telemedicine consultations, medical expert witness services, or international medical consulting can benefit significantly from trading through a limited company rather than personally. A company provides liability separation, more tax-efficient income extraction, and a professional invoicing structure for healthcare organisations.
We assess your medical speciality, income type (locum, telemedicine, consulting), and residency to recommend the best entity.
UK Ltd: 24-48 hours. US LLC: 24-72 hours. UAE free zone: 3-7 days.
We assist with business bank account opening compatible with healthcare invoicing and NHS payment systems.
We advise on registering your company with locum agencies and medical staffing frameworks.
Yes. Many UK doctors operate as locum GPs or hospital locums through a personal service company (PSC). However, IR35 rules apply to locum work within NHS and other public sector engagements. Locums working outside IR35-caught engagements can often benefit from operating through a UK Ltd company. We recommend consulting a medical accountant for IR35 advice specific to your assignments.
Telemedicine and international medical consulting work often falls outside IR35 rules (as it involves genuine business risk, multiple clients, and substitution clauses). Trading through a company allows doctors to extract income as salary and dividends at a lower overall tax rate than personal income tax, retain profits for investment, and create a scalable business structure.
For UK-based doctors, a UK Ltd is typically the most practical and recognised entity. For internationally mobile doctors or those working across EU or global markets, a UK Ltd or UAE free zone company offers flexibility. UAE is particularly attractive for doctors providing telemedicine or consulting to Gulf region clients. We assess your specific situation.
Not necessarily. Many doctors run their medico-legal (expert witness and medical reporting) work through the same company as their clinical consulting or locum work. However, some doctors prefer to separate the revenue streams for accounting clarity. We advise on the most practical structure for your mix of medical income sources.
