Hi there I am wanting to purchase goods from a brand based in Ireland, to re-sell in my online store, I am in the UK. I’m confused as to what I need to do before placing my order with them. Thank you.

Hi there, I’ve just had a look at the process to apply for a EORI number, what is the difference between a Sole Trader and an Individual please?

Hi,
An individual can be a private individual person with no commercial interests where as sole trader is a type of business.
You can be a sole trader as your only job or at the same time as working for an employer.
You can be a sole trader if the following apply 
•    you’re running your own business as an individual
•    you work for yourself
What a sole trader is
Thank you.
