There is a buyer, or soon will be, and the company does not exist yet. The decision question is whether to trade personally for now, wait for the entity, or form it before the first invoice, and what each choice leaves exposed.
The party who contracts with the buyer, and who may also invoice, can carry the liability and record-keeping. Selling personally and moving the business into a company later is possible, but the transfer of contracts and customers is then something you have to manage, and some buyers may not accept it.
The assessment sorts out whether your first sales are small enough, safe enough and flexible enough to start personally, or whether a company should sit between you and the buyer from the start.
What it suits: A small, low-liability first sale to a flexible buyer. What it leaves open: Contracts and records have to be moved later; personal exposure in the meantime.
What it suits: A buyer that requires a company, or work with real liability. What it leaves open: Time spent before revenue; the structure is chosen with less information.
What it suits: Someone you trust or an entity you control already fits the activity. What it leaves open: Risks of mixing activities and ownership that were not meant to be mixed.
Rules on trading before registration differ and may restrict some routes. A local professional should confirm.
A business, a consumer or a marketplace each expect a different supplier identity.
Services, physical goods and digital products carry different obligations.
A sale that could change your tax or registration position needs earlier attention.
Repeat business makes a clean entity from the start more attractive.
This is business and structuring analysis, not legal, tax or investment advice. Where a legal or tax opinion is needed, we say so and point you to a licensed adviser.
That depends on the place and the activity, and we do not state it. The assessment lists it as a check for a local professional.
Possibly only with the buyer's agreement. The assessment flags that this should be settled early.
