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 one of the biggest decisions you'll make as an influencer. We help you weigh the pros and cons of being a sole trader versus setting up a limited company, based on your income level, growth ambitions, and appetite for admin. Our advice is tailored to your unique situation, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
- Tax efficiency comparison between sole trader and limited company
- Understanding dividends versus salary and how they affect your tax
- Guidance on company formation and ongoing statutory obligations
- Corporation tax planning and payment strategies
- Personal tax return implications for both structures
- Limited liability protection and what it means for your personal assets
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.
US withholding tax
W-8BEN forms and treaty rates so Google withholds 0% instead of 30%.
Foreign currency
Correct exchange rate treatment on every payout and platform fee.
VAT on digital services
Place-of-supply rules for overseas brands, agencies and subscribers.
Moving abroad
Residency, split-year treatment and non-dom planning for creators relocating.

It depends on your income level, future plans, and how much admin you're willing to handle. We'll review your situation and explain the tax and legal implications of both options. Our goal is to find the most tax-efficient structure for you, whether that's staying as a sole trader or making the leap to a limited company.
You can claim a wide range of expenses, including equipment, software, props, travel, home office costs, and even a portion of your phone and internet bills. We'll help you identify every legitimate deduction so you don't overpay tax. Just keep your receipts and we'll do the rest.
We recommend cloud-based tools like Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent because they integrate seamlessly with our systems and make MTD compliance easier. However, if you already use a different tool, we can work with that too. We'll set everything up for you and show you how to use it efficiently.
Simply get in touch through our website or give us a call. We'll schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your situation and answer any questions. From there, we'll outline how we can help and, if you're happy to proceed, we'll get you set up in no time.
