Hi Everyone,
I would love to hear from anyone who has experienced making that transition from being a registered sole trader, to registering as a company, whether it be Ltd or other...
What tips/advice would you give to someone like me who has been mulling over the idea for the past 12+ months. When is the best or 'right' time to make that kind of commitment? Is there a bad time to do so? Or does it not really matter. For example, is it best to have a large on-going client base beforehand, or is this not really a factor? (Bare in mind, I am not looking to literally go out and rent a building to open my own studio...yet!)
What effect has being a registered company had on your business in comparison to a prior sole trader? Has it helped to grow your client base at all, whether that be in number or a higher caliber of clients so to speak. I think what I'm getting at with this question in particular is, do new clients feel more comfortable hiring you as a registered business/company, as opposed to a sole trader?
Thanking you in advance for your words of wisdom!
