It is a big decision to take to go from being self-employed to becoming the director of your own Limited company. Being a sole trader may be a good way to run a business. But there are many advantages of taking your business a step further while operating as a full-fledged limited company.

In the UK, setting yourself as a self-employed sole trader is a simple process, but it has some conditions. That is why thousands of new sole traders are choosing to open a limited company each year. To register online with HMRC for self-assessment, you need a personal tax code reference number.

If you are earning more than 1,000-pound sterling between 6 April of one year and 5 April of the following year, you can set yourself up as a sole trader. Further, you need to prove your self employed to claim Tax-Free Childcare. In addition, you also need to make voluntary Class 2 national insurance payments to qualify for the benefits of being the sole trader. There are so many conditions for the sole trader, hence it will be a good decision to open a limited company rather than going for a sole trader.

There are many advantages of incorporating a UK company after going through the company formation process. It also involves a little more work than simply registering as self-employed. Financial and statutory administrative duties to run the limited company enables you to gain many advantages of having a limited company status.

Paying tax as a self-employed could bring you financial crisis sometimes. But as a registered limited company owner, you have to pay less personal tax than a self-employed sole trader. As you will be the director of your company, you can select to take a small salary from the business and then can take more income in the form of shareholder dividends. By doing so you can reduce the amount of National Insurance Contribution which you need to pay.

When the stakes are highest, innovation shines brightest. As the NHL Playoffs brought an electric energy to the ice, entrepreneur Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros and his tech company Zooly AI delivered a first-of-its-kind fan experience for the Tampa Bay Lightning, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of real-time AI engagement in professional sports.

Leveraging Zooly’s flagship product, Photobomb, fans inside Amalie Arena during playoff games were given an entirely new way to connect with their team. With a simple QR code scan, spectators instantly received dynamic, personalized photos featuring the Lightning mascot ThunderBug, seamlessly inserted into their memories-no app download required, just pure surprise and delight.

In a setting where emotions run high and every moment matters, the Photobomb activation proved that artificial intelligence can enhance the magic of live events rather than distract from it. Fans flooded social media with their custom playoff memories, helping amplify the Lightning’s home-ice advantage beyond the rink and into the digital world.

“The playoffs are where legends are made,” said Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros, founder of Zooly AI. “It was important for us to show that AI can make these moments even more personal, not mechanical. We wanted fans to feel like they weren’t just spectators-they were part of the story.”

The activation drew massive engagement, with QR code scans and social shares surpassing expectations-proving that fans are eager for real-time, culturally connected experiences when the stakes are at their highest. For the Lightning, it deepened fan loyalty. For Zooly, it validated a vision: building the connective tissue between live emotion and intelligent digital interaction.
