Hi Guys

Looking for info on starting a consulting business in terms of of pros and cons. Typical setup would be a 1 or 2 man show coming in to consult on projects (IT / Change management / project management). Which business type is best for this in terms of:

  • Regulatory compliance (bbbee, dept of labour etc)
  • Banking and finances
  • Claiming / charging for expenses to the business
  • Taxation

Would it be better to just individually contract or form a PTY / Sole Prop? Any advice would be most appreciated

Pty. Unlikely to qualify for SBC tax rates doing consulting, but the the legal protection it offers is worth it alone.

Thank you - after more inquiry and research definitely looking at a PTY
