Transfer of Sole Trader business to wife

Options
Hi, just looking for some advice.

I've been running a small online business for a couple of months and project it'll make some money. I've got a new job and don't have time to run it.

My wife works part-time and she would be keen to carry it on.

Is it acceptable for her to register as a sole trader and for me just to sell her the stock I have left at cost and then de-register as a sole trader.

Would this be ok or is there a better way? She's just in the 20% tax band and I'm 40% if that affects matters.

Thanks
