One Director or two??

Ellabobbin

Good evening, I have been looking into this but would welcome any input... Is there a disadvantage to having a spouse as a director (other than putting them into self assessment) when they would in any case be a 50% shareholder - and thus entitled to 50% of the company's worth should the marriage not survive... Similarly are there any advantages to having your spouse as a director - particularly when thinking about access to assets in the event of death... Thank you!
