Sole Traders
A trading plan is just words until you act on it.
One of the simplest and most straight forward ways of setting up a business is to become a sole trader.
It basically means you’re running your own business as an individual. You can keep all your business’ profits after you’ve paid tax on them. It doesn’t mean you are on your own though as you can still take on staff.
Just because it is a simple method does not mean it is not a tax efficient way of starting in business. However, it does come with certain risks. You are personally responsible for such things as any losses your business makes, bills for your business costs and keeping records of your business’ income and expenses.
