A Sole Trader is an individual that runs a business with the intention of making a profit. A Sole Trader is fully liable for any debts and contracts the business has and from a legal perspective there is no difference between the business and the individual.
A lot of clients start trading as a Sole Trader because it is the most simplistic way to begin a business. A change of business structure, often to a Limited Company may come later and at Thompson Reid we’re specialists in supporting you through both stages of your business’s growth.
We’ll take care of all your accounting and taxation requirements, including the preparation of the annual accounts and the completion of the self-assessment tax return. We can also help with registering the business and can offer ongoing support and assistance going forward. We’ll also continuously review your business to check you’re operating in the most tax-efficient way.
