Structuring your business at an early stage will save time later and money in the longer-term

Structuring your business at an early stage will save time
later and will save you money in the long term. Every
business is different and what works for one will not be
right for another, so getting the right advice at this point
is invaluable.

There are a number of different structures
available including:

  • Sole trader
  • Partnership
  • Limited company
  • Limited liability partnership (LLP)

Each of these has advantages and disadvantages and
working with the right adviser will ensure you choose the
appropriate structure that will help to deliver your goals,
pay the right amount of tax and improve cashflow.
