mountianrider Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Are there many / any sole traders in the industry or is everyone LTD? Can a one man band get SSAIB? Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/39844-business/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Yes you can, but you would need to buddy up with another provider to cover call outs etc Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/39844-business/#findComment-442326 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Ltd here, it is a safer way to trade it stops anyone coming after your house should it all go toots up. I know you think it will never happen to you, but I have had electrical contractors go bust on me owing up-to £6k at a time before now. I would not have survived if that had happened in the first two or three years, there were months when I wasnt paid just so I could pay wages and suppliers, if I lost even £2k I would have been in trouble, at that time, not even my cc would have covered it.
