Choosing the right business structure for you

The Leaky Bucket

In this episode, we delve into the crucial topic of choosing the optimal business structure for tax efficiency. We’ll compare and contrast four main types of business structures: sole trader, partnership, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), and limited company. Here’s what you’ll learn:

1.Sole Trader:

•Pros: Simplicity and full control.

•Cons: Unlimited liability and higher personal income tax rates.

2.Partnership:

•Pros: Shared responsibility and relatively easy setup.

•Cons: Unlimited liability for partners and personal income tax on profits.

3.Limited Liability Partnership (LLP):

•Pros: Limited liability and tax flexibility.

•Cons: More complex to set up and partners still pay personal income tax on profits.

4.Limited Company:

•Pros: Limited liability, lower corporation tax rates, and tax-efficient profit extraction through dividends.

•Cons: More regulatory requirements and administrative costs.

We’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each structure, focusing on their tax implications and helping you make an informed decision based on your business’s profit levels, liability concerns, and administrative capacity. Tune in to learn which business structure could save you money and protect your assets while aligning with your long-term business goals.
