FAQ's
What is the difference between a Sole Trader and Limited Company?
A sole trader is a self-employed person who is the exclusive owner of their business. They are entitled to keep all profits after tax but they are also liable for all losses.
A limited company, on the other hand, is legally separate from the people who run it. It has separate finances and you can keep any profits it makes after paying tax.
How fast can I get funding?
The timing of cash is dependent on the type of funding but on average funds can be released within a week, if not sooner.
How do I become a Limited Company?
Running your business as a private limited company means:
- It is legally separate from the people who run it.
- It has separate finances from your personal ones.
- You can keep any profits it makes after paying tax.
To set up a private limited company you need to register with Companies House. This is known as ‘incorporation’.
