Lacking the energy required to chase an imaginary cookie ? Too disgusted to Recite poetry whilst masturbating ? Not interested in human ownership ? Think that sexual preference is not determined by same gender presence in a room or browsing a website ? Prefer knitting ? This is the thread for you . Post about more day to day stuff . Sensible hobbies , holiday plans , ideal coffee meets , socials you d love to go to , that sort of thing

Limited company implies you are not really sure , thats how banks and finance institutions look at it. I was a sole trader for over 20 years. Much more favourable rates for borrowing and charges.

That's because a sole trader is personally guaranteeing any borrowing. If it goes titsup then youre personally responsible for the debt. If you have a limited company and the company goes under them the debt dies with the company. Higher risk to a bank of not getting the money back means a higher interest rate.

I've experience in both sole trader and ltd businesses. I'm currently a sole trader and a director of a company.

What's better depends on the type of business. A business that carries debt wether it's to suppliers or set up costs, whatever it is, is basically better off as a ltd company. Better from a tax point of view, that depends on your perspective. The tax man never loses and corporation tax may be lower but your money then is never yours. Not really.

However, certain businesses such as a Barbers or nail technician, tattoo artist....most service industries that don't employ a large amount of people are far better off as a sole trader.

Obviously there are alot of other factors I'm just trying to highlight there is no one right way.

I used to do most of my own accs to keep charges down also did my own vat returns.Never had a problem with any of it. Suppose UK is different to here in Ireland.

You can't go to the US right now (unless your a citizen or married to one) so I wouldn't advise booking anything there

f y i your either a sole trader or a company, you cant be both. Basically as a sole trader your personally responsible for the taxes and losses, as a company you have 5 times the paperwork of a sole trader but have limited liability protection. I have been both a sole trader and later a company director, there are pros a d cons to both. Drop me a mail if you need any further info.

"I don't know what a tracker mortgage is!"

I am going to generalise from the U.K. version I had

It tracks the bank of Ireland base rate and everytime that goes up it goes up and vice verse

If you want to know exactly how much you ll pay , get a fixed one

But that certainty makes them expensive . If you’re happy to take a bit of a risk it ll mean you ll pay less for a tracker unless interest rates go up significantly and overtake the fixed

Oh, I needed that good laugh. Thanks!

You'd see me run around a street pole fast enough to fuck myself in the arse then me going to the movies to watch a rom com by myself

Speaking of small screens, I hope they don't fuck up The Foundation, would be sad to have Asimov's opus ruined in the first attempt...
