Limited company
I didn’t realise that setting up a limited company was such a palaver!
I’ve managed to download all the forms, filled them in as far as I can (without the aid of solicitors, notaries and such) and got a shedload of other bumpf that I still need to wade through and make sure that I’m complying with all the necessary.
Setting up a bank account is proving to be a bit of a bitch too. It seems that I need to have a minimum of 2 grand at the outset (where the hell do I get this from?) before I can open an account.
It looks like the Co-operative Bank is my best bet on this front at the moment. They seems to have a pretty good deal for new businesses, and that’s something I really need at the moment, seeing as I don’t have oodles of cash just lying about (but I will check under the mattress, just in case I left a suitcase full of used tenners under there…)
Oh well, I may just go to one of those company set-up agents and bite the bullet (and pay the £200 odd quid they charge) rather than making my brain explode trying to deal with it all myself (which only costs £20, what a bargain!)
Blaagh!
