How do I set up my wn business? I have an opportunity to act as a consultant. How do I register a new company?
Answers:
http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/act. is the government's official website on small businesses and is packed full of all the information you will need on setting up, maintaining and growing your business.
I also suggest you visit an accountant - your first 'session' should be free. They can advise you on the best way to setup your business to minimise the tax you have to pay - there are advantages and disadvantages to being a limited company, sole trader or partnership.
Good luck!
I've been to the Enterprise Trust on a number of occasions to discuss new business ideas. they're extremely helpful and can take you from start to finish, also offer good startup grants if you're under 30 etc. Try their web page for your area office details.
If you are setting up as a limited company try www.companieshouse.gov.uk for guidance.
If you are simply setting up as self employed you will need to contact you local tax office for a registration pack.
Good luck
