  • #2 - The differences between sole trader, partnership and a limited company - A bitesize introduction
    Mar 23 2023

    In this episode I give you a bitesized overview of the different UK business types: Sole Trader, Partnership and Limited Company


    I remember several years ago when I started my first business, this was something I didn't really know about as I had never owned my own business before, and I searched for a podcast episode related to this topic but couldn't find anything! So this is the episode I wish I had when I was first starting my own small business.


    I hope you find it useful!
