Sole Traders Support

A sole trader is the simplest and most widely used business structure, commonly chosen by start-ups, micro businesses, freelancers, and individuals running their own enterprise. Terms such as self-employed, sole proprietor, or unincorporated business are often used to describe the same structure. Under this model, the business is owned and controlled by one individual who is responsible for its operations and financial obligations.

A sole trader may operate more than one business at the same time and can also hold other roles, such as being a director of a limited company, a partner in another business, or an employee elsewhere. Sole trader businesses can also hire staff and register for VAT if their turnover exceeds the HMRC registration threshold. This structure is popular because it is simple to set up, easy to manage, and offers flexibility for individuals starting or growing their business.
