Today i will be speaking about the business i have discovered
The business name i have chosen is tapcomp. John has established his own mobile computer and software business. It all started 18 years ago and it started from scratch.

John is an Sole trader with an unincorporated entity and unlimited liability. Like any other sole trader, John was faced with many advantages and disadvantages due to his choice of legal structure.

Disadvantages:
* Unlimited liability which means all your personal assets could be at risk if something goes wrong, landing your business in debt. * Little opportunity for tax planning - you can't split business profits or losses made with family members and you are personally liable to pay tax on all the income derived. * No one to look after the business if you’re very ill etc.

To build on his customer base, he promoted the business simply by appearing alongside the buildings of popular companies within the same industry, handing out business cards and just
