Legal Q & A

Question: What is the difference between being a sole trader and forming a company
Answer: A sole trader typically uses their own name or a business name; for example "Smith's Apples Juice". The sole trader is personally liable for all debts and creditors of the business. A company is a separate legal entity that is different from the person themselves. It is expressed differently to a sole trader; for example "Smith's Apple Juice Limited". The company is liable for the debts and creditors of the business rather than the person.
