Who We Help
We work with creators at every stage, from first paid collaboration through to multi-million view channels running a full production team.
Sole Trader or Limited Company?
Choosing the right business structure is crucial for tax efficiency. Our team helps you weigh the pros and cons of being a sole trader versus forming a limited company, considering your income level, growth ambitions, and personal circumstances. We provide clear, tailored advice so you can decide with confidence.

- Company formation and ongoing administrative duties
- Corporation tax obligations for limited companies
- Personal tax return requirements for sole traders and directors

International Income & Cross-Border Tax for Creators
YouTube pays from the US, TikTok pays from Ireland, a brand deal lands from Dubai and your Patreon settles in dollars. Each of those routes carries its own withholding tax, VAT and currency treatment. We make sure you claim treaty relief where it applies, report foreign income correctly and never pay tax twice on the same pound.
