    To act with honesty and good faith, while prioritizing the best interests of the company.
  3. To exercise reasonable care, diligence, and skill, similar to that of a prudent person.

It is recommended that every business should maintain a separate bank account. This practice is not only legally required to keep your personal and business funds separate but also has tax benefits.

Having a separate business bank account allows for better organization of your financial transactions, making it easy to track income and expenses. This also simplifies the process of compiling financial information during tax season.

Furthermore, maintaining a clear distinction between your personal and business finances enables you to evaluate the profitability of your business more accurately.

As a director of a limited company, you can withdraw money from the company in three ways:

  1. Salary, expenses, and benefits: If you wish to receive a salary, expenses, or benefits from the company, you need to register the company as an employer with the National Insurance Board (NIS).

  2. Dividends: A dividend is a payment that a company can make to shareholders if it has generated enough profits.

  3. Directors' loans: If you withdraw more money from the company than you have invested, and it is not in the form of salary or dividends, it is referred to as a 'directors' loan'. If your company provides directors' loans, it is essential to maintain accurate records of them.

According to legal requirements, your company must report the following changes:

Changes in directors: Any changes in directors' appointments, names, or addresses must be reported within thirty (30) days of the change by completing and filing the Notice of Directors/Notice of Change of Directors.

Changes in address: If your company's address changes, you must report it within thirty (30) days of the change by completing and filing the Notice of Address/Notice of Change of Address.

Changes in secretary: Any changes in the appointment, name, or address of the secretary must be reported within thirty (30) days of the change by completing and filing the Notice of Secretary/Notice of Change of Secretary
