soul trader?! I'm actually the grim reaper! If they can't be got, how come I got one?
If you have a COMPANY registration number, when trading as a sole trader then there is a big cock up somewhere. Are you sure that what you have is not a BUSINESS NAME REGISTRATION. ?
The confusion is quite understandable. I can't for the life of me understand why on earth every business name certificate that is issued is accompanied by a receipt headed "COMPANIES REGISTRATION OFFICE". It would confuse the Pope.
