Seeking Advice on UK Company Registration Process

Hi everyone,

I'm in the early stages of setting up a business and considering registering my company in the UK. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the process and would appreciate some guidance. Specifically, I'm unsure about the differences between registering as a sole trader vs UK company registration. a limited company. What are the pros and cons of each? Additionally, are there any particular pitfalls I should be aware of or tips for ensuring a smooth registration process? Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
