    This site set up as an unlimited company for whatever reason Martin had for doing so.

    Martin was a director of that Unlimited company, rather than a sole trader.

    A sole trader is not a company.

    I'm director of ABC Ltd, a limited company
    I'm also director of XYZ Taxis LLP, a Limited Liability Partnership
    I'm also a sole trader, DEF Taxi, a sole trader using my own name.

    Not so much the last any more, just when I get time.

    But a sole trade may be a company.
    There is nothing that says a company has to be constituted as a limited liability company or an unlimited company

    I am talking in companies house terms.

    A sole trader would carry on a business in their own name.

    Absolutely not

    A sole trader can carry on a trade under any name he chooses subject to conflicts etc. Companies house has nothing to do with sole traders

    As a soole trader I can carry on business as A & Co or B & Co or C & Co etc etc and Companies house won't bother me.

    This bit applies to sole traders and Income tax, of course and a sole trader may trade as a company.

    Your lack of knowledge makes me chuckle :j:beer:
