Should I stay a sole trader or become a limited company?

This Is Where Many Tradesmen Get Caught Out

What starts as straightforward self-employed work can quickly become more complex. Many tradesmen begin taking on more jobs, managing materials, subcontractors, VAT, or RCT, without fully realising what Revenue may expect.

The issue usually is not the work itself — it is understanding what needs to be declared, what may be claimed, and how to stay organised properly from the beginning.

We keep things simple and practical, so you know exactly where you stand.
