Registering Business Start-Ups

If you have plans to start your own business then you may have already thought about what will best suit your needs, this could be as a sole trader, a partnership, or a private limited company.

Let us first understand what these business types are:

Sole Traders / Self Employed

Sole traders are independent self-employed traders who are responsible for their losses in their business. They are allowed to keep their profits on their income after paying their taxes. It is easy to become a sole trader. Sole traders have to register themselves with HMRC and maintain their records of sales and expenses.

Partnership

When two or more people come together to run a business it is called a partnership. In a partnership, partners share the profits and losses of the business. They also have to maintain their sales and expense records.

Private Limited Companies

A private limited company’s finances are separate from personal finances and they have a more organized setup with more reporting and management responsibilities. The formation is bigger hence the responsibilities too are bigger. Private Limited Companies have a limited liability which means the company is liable and not the individual.
