You may be able to reduce your annual tax bill by reviewing your business’s structure, as there are often significant tax savings to be made. During the early years of a business, it may be preferable to operate as a sole trader or in a partnership. However, as your profits increase, you may find it more beneficial to form a limited company.
Incorporating your business also has many non-tax advantages. Incorporated companies enjoy legal continuity, as they are legal entities in their own right. In addition, if a business owner ever wished to transfer ownership, as an incorporated company this can be achieved with greater ease than if trading as a sole trader or in a partnership.
