KinLogs+ for sole traders

Your business is you. That makes it easy to forget.

A sole trader's business has no separate legal existence. If you die, it ends, and your executors deal with what's left: customers who paid deposits, a van on finance, tools, subscriptions and a final tax return. A side business run alongside a job counts too.

Customers

Who has paid, and what's half finished.

Record each customer, what was agreed, deposits taken and work in progress. The plan turns it into a list of people to contact, so nobody is left wondering about their kitchen.

  • Deposits and work in progress in one place.
  • Someone who could finish the job, with their number.
  • Your first instructions, such as which customers to email first.

What KinLogs+ covers

The things a sole trader carries in their head.

Tools and subscriptions

Website, booking system, accounting software, trade accounts. What each costs and when to cancel it.

Vans, units and equipment

Finance agreements, notice periods, where the keys are and what things are worth.

HMRC and the accounts

Your UTR, VAT, Self Assessment dates and who does the books, for the final return.

Insurance

Public liability and tool cover, and whether anything needs run-off.

Online presence

Website, social pages and listings: what should be closed and what should say you've stopped trading.

Records

Where the books are and how long they must be kept.

Closure plan for a sole trader, starting with first instructions and who has authority

The plan

A clear way to stop trading.

KinLogs+ builds a closure and handover plan from what you've recorded. It starts with your own instructions, explains who has authority to act, then works through customers, deadlines, insurance, suppliers and the final tax return.
