Sole Traders

A Sole Trader, also known as a sole proprietorship is a simple business arrangement, in which one individual run and owns the entire business. This means that you are in complete control of your business and the profits you make are completely yours. Setting up a sole trader is a quick and easy way to start up in business and requires the least cost, as there are no legal or formal processes in getting started.

However, this also means that you as a sole proprietor are also solely responsible for the debts and liability of the business. Global Tax Accountants can show you the best way to manage your income and offer advice on protecting your business.
