Aren't there any other matters to consider in deciding whether to incorporate or not?

Higher administration costs to comply with company law, payroll and bookkeeping is one factor. Another issue is pension planning. Extracting profits out ofrepparttar company as dividends rather than salary means that there will be no "net relevant earnings" and therefore pension contributions can't be made. Butrepparttar 134489 advent of stakeholder pension plans has meant that contributions up to œ3,600 per year can be made withoutrepparttar 134490 need for any earnings. If a person does not wish to transfer funds in existing plans into stakeholder because of high charges, there is a way out:repparttar 134491 best net relevant earnings (i.e. salary) in five consecutive years can be used for making contributions forrepparttar 134492 next five years, even if there were no salaries inrepparttar 134493 remainder four years. It is comforting to know that entitlement to basic state pension is not affected by taking a salary fromrepparttar 134494 company atrepparttar 134495 level of a person's personal allowances i.e. œ4,615.

Furthermore, an individual may decide not to bother with pension plans and instead invest in ISA. Often, these can be more efficient than pensions but that's besiderepparttar 134496 scope of this article. If that option is taken, no salary is necessary.

Another factor is business motoring. It might be tax advantageous for an unincorporated business that owns many cars not to incorporate because if these cars have some private use there will be benefits in kind taxed onrepparttar 134497 users. These are generally higher thanrepparttar 134498 straight apportionment between private and business for all car running costs inrepparttar 134499 case of sole traders.

The conclusion is that there can be considerable tax savings waitingrepparttar 134500 sole trader who decides to go downrepparttar 134501 road to incorporation. But, one needs to proceed with caution and careful planning. And don't forgetrepparttar 134502 biggest advantage of incorporation, which is Protection from Personal Liability. Incorporating is one ofrepparttar 134503 best ways to protect a business owner from personal liability. Shareholders of a company are generally not liable forrepparttar 134504 obligations ofrepparttar 134505 company. Creditors of a company may seek payment from its assets, but notrepparttar 134506 assets ofrepparttar 134507 shareholders. This means that business owners may engage in business without risking their homes or other personal property.

But why did FreeFind stand out amongrepparttar others, and why was it so important to me to wait until they could index password- protected areas? FreeFind offers some features that I couldn't find on other onsite search engines, features that would help me tremendously with my work.

For example:

* FreeFind will automatically create a What's New page, after you've any changes torepparttar 134488 site. Just think of how much help that will be for me with my training material? Between my two programs (beginning and advanced), I have over 1000 resource pages to update every single month, and I've been creatingrepparttar 134489 "What's New" page by hand. Now, it's automatically created for me.

* FreeFind isrepparttar 134490 only onsite search engine that enables your visitors to findrepparttar 134491 page they're looking for, then keeps an eye on it for any changes.

If you set up this engine on your own site, it will build traffic by turning casual, one- time visitors into repeat and loyal visitors who return again and again to look at changes made torepparttar 134493 page that are of particular interest to them.

* FreeFind will automatically create a Site Map of your site. This Site Map is an alphabetical listing ofrepparttar 134494 pages on your site.

* FreeFind will search across several domains. So, if your company has numerous domains, your onsite search engine will cover each of those domains, without having to set up separate engines.
