It depends on what you're doing. If your business is small, you don't need the head ache of a limited company, but if you have something bigger - you don't want to be limited by a sole trade. I don't own a none of them, neither a limited company, neither a sole trader - I'm a solo trader and I work for myself. If I could start a business in trading, I would go for the limited company as there is where to grow and have employees. And it's been a while since I started thinking about starting a business, I think after starting with Investous CFDs Trading. I would hire young people and teach them to trade online, and then take a commission from their trades.
