    Register as sole trader before operating or grace/buffer period?

    Register as sole trader before operating or grace/buffer period?

    Hi, I'm in the pre-settup stage of starting my own consultancy. Do I have to register as a sole trader before I start operating or is there a grace/buffer period? I.e. Could I set up a website and start taking clients and contracts without registering as a sole trader first? Or do I have to...
