A sole trader structure may be right for you.

A sole trader is the simplest form of business structure and can be inexpensive and easy set up.

As a sole trader you’re responsible for everything in your business including debts, losses and day-to-day decisions. You can employ people too.

Sole trader

Based on your selections the sole trader structure might suit your business needs.

A sole trader is an individual and the sole owner of the business.

The income your business makes belongs to you. You report the income on your individual tax return and pay tax on your business income at your income tax rate.

You're responsible for all decisions and losses in your business. This means you have complete control over your business, but it also means your personal assets are at risk if things go wrong.
