Hi,
My wife is currently set up as a sole trader. I've been employed by her for the last 3 years, but now I wish to change our roles so that I become the sole trader and I employ my wife. Is it possible to do this? I don't want to have to set up a new company (as a sole trader) as we want to keep the existing company name, stationary etc.
The reasons for this are; I'm now doing most of the work in relation to the "company" and my wife will be on maternity leave next year, with the option of staying off work for a further 6 months. As an employee, she could sign on for this additional time. Am I correct?
Thank in advance,
