Types of self-employment loans
There are three types of self-employment that each have different benefits:
Sole trader loans:A self-employed sole trader is the simplest way to start your own business. Sole traders work on their own and are personally liable for any loans or debts.
Partnership loans:A self-employed partnership is a minimum of two people that share responsibility for a business. Each person’s income and liability is proportional to their share in the business.
Limited company loans: A limited company is when the business is a separate legal entity from the owners. The company itself is liable for any loans or debt, rather than the owners having to be personally liable.
