I'm exploring setting up my own company. It says I need to become a sole trader. However, I can't progress with this, as I get a response saying I need to be either single or the assessable spouse. 
I can't seem to do it through ROS either, as it says I should have an Irish tax registration number already registered for a business. It then says to register on MyAccount, which as stated I can't. 

Any help on this would be much appreciated. 

I went ahead and clicked I was the assessable spouse anyway
