Any business irrelevant of whether a sole trader, partnership, company upon reaching the turnover threshold for Vat registration must register unless its activities are outside the rules.
see:: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/start/register/when-to-register.htm and
also
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/forms-rates/rates/goods-services.htm
The first gives the rules for registration, and the second link gives a reasonably comprehensive list of items exempt, and those outside the scope.

The VAT threshold is £67k
So no matter whether you are a one man band, Ltd, partner etc it doesnt matter as long as you are below that figure
You can of course become registered whenever especially for positioning reasons with larger companies. i.e if you say you're not vat reg then they know you are below 67k and might think you're no good irrespective of how long youve been in business for
Thanks

It is £68,000.
As a side point, any Local Authority (Parish, District, County Council, Police, Fire etc.) that makes any level of business supplies is required to register for VAT (although HMRC do let them go up to £1000 turnover as an administrative easement).
So there is one type of trader for whom the turnover limit is largely irrelevant.
