How to be successful as a sole trader?
As a sole trader you are personally responsible for all the liabilities of the business, so make sure you have adequate insurance for you, your customers and your business. Be willing to change direction, rise to a challenge and move quickly when faced with opportunity. If you remain agile in business, your chances of success are far greater.
Can a sole trader sell shares to an investor?
Potential suppliers and investors may well view your business as more commercial and serious if you run it through a limited company. When you are a sole trader, there is no way anyone else can buy into your business unless you turn it into a partnership, but it is fairly easy to sell shares in a limited company to an investor.
What’s the difference between sole trader and limited company?
Good question! The fundamental difference is that when you’re a sole trader, you and your business are legally one and the same, as we saw above. But if you’re running your business through a limited company, the company is a separate legal entity from you.
What are the disadvantages of being a sole trader?
Disadvantages. Unlimited liability which means all your personal assets are at risk if things go wrong. Little opportunity for tax planning – you can’t split business profits or losses with family members and you are personally liable to pay tax on all the income from the business.
