What You Need to Know

The choice between sole trader, partnership, and limited company has lasting tax consequences that are difficult and expensive to unwind. While sole trader status suits lower profit levels, incorporation typically delivers material savings once profits consistently exceed the £30,000 to £40,000 range, through the combination of the 19-25% corporation tax rate and tax-efficient dividend extraction. We assess your specific profit level, risk profile, growth plans, and investor requirements to recommend the right structure from the outset, and manage any restructuring with minimal tax cost where an existing business is changing form.
