    If you're in the UK, you probably mean an LTD company rather than an LLC.

    You don't say what experience you have or whether this is a full-time venture, but the choice between a sole trader and limited company is one you'll need to discuss with your accountant or financial advisor. We can't know about your tax situation.

    All that said, I'd probably wait until you see some income before thinking too much about this.

      Yes, I meant Ltd, sorry. I'm a total newbie to all this, the plan is to cut down on my hours then eventually quit and work on the blog full time, as well as other online plans I have ie Clickbank etc

        If you're currently employed, I imagine you'll be paying tax through the PAYE system. Any extra income is potentially taxable, but you should definitely discuss this with a tax specialist who can advise you on your options for a business structure. Nobody here knows your situation and is unlikely to be qualified to help.

        Good luck!
