Responsibility is deciding factor. In case of an s.p., the owner is absolutely responsible. This means they are liable with not only business assets, but also all personal assets.

Another important factor are taxes. They can affect the decision between LTD or sole proprietorship. LTD’s usually pay a tax, based on their profits. The rate is usually 22 %.
