CHOOSING THE RIGHT BUSINESS STRUCTURE

Self Employed Business - Sole Trader

This is the simplest form of business structure. A sole trader is not distinguished from the business owners personal affairs. If the business incur debts, creditors can seek payment from the business owner. SERVICES & SOLUTIONS.

Partnership

A partnership in similar in nature to a sole trader but involves two or more business partners. A written agreement is essential so that all partners are aware of the partnership terms. The business and personal affairs of the partners are not legally separate. SERVICES & SOLUTIONS.

Limited Company

A Company is a legal entity in its own right, separate from the personal affairs of the shareholders and directors. A Company provides protection from liability which means that the creditors of the company cannot make a claim against the shareholders and directors except in limited circumstances.  Limited Companies require greater legal requirements and regulations that must be complied with.

Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)

LLPs is a business structure halfway between partnerships and companies. They are taxed in the same way as a partnership but are legally a corporate body.
