Formation of a Sole Trader Business
When forming a sole trader business there are no set models or rules which you must follow. The up side of this is that such businesses are less onerous and the costs of setting up are minimal. However, the key point is that unlike some forms of partnership and private limited companies, you will be solely liable and therefore responsible for the business including its debts.
Sole traders are self-employed and financial considerations such as these should be discussed with an accountant before the business is formed.
It is quite key to remember that you will be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the business.
