  • Joint venture structures

Case Study: The Wrong Business Structure

As an online store owner, Sarah had a passion for fashion and a keen eye for business. She had started her own online store, selling a range of stylish and trendy clothing and accessories, and business was booming. However, as her business continued to grow, she began to realize that she had made a critical error in her business structure.

Sarah had originally set up her business as a sole trader, thinking that it would be the easiest and most straightforward structure for her small online store. However, as her business grew, she began to realize that being a sole trader was actually causing her more problems than she had anticipated.

One of the main issues Sarah faced was with taxes. As a sole trader, she was required to pay tax on all of her business income, which meant that she was paying a higher tax rate than she would have if she had set up her business as a company. This was eating into her profits and causing her to struggle financially.

In addition to the tax issue, Sarah also realized that being a sole trader exposed her to a greater risk of liability. If something went wrong with her business, she would be personally liable for any damages, which could potentially put her personal assets at risk.

If Sarah had spoken with The Legal Shop earlier, she would have saved money on taxes and protected her personal assets from liability. However, it is never too late to restructure if it is the best fit for your business.
