    everyone has there own opinion and sometimes its hard to get your opinion across the way you mean it, with this forum and all forums to be honest you have take most posts with a pinch of salt and do your own research, but people just help to point you in the right direction.
    This post even with all the this and that about the VAT and the end of the day the OP needs to speak with an accountant, HMRC, business link, but taking some of the info from this thread to help:T

    omg its not about shifting responsibility (get it in your head) its about employing someone who has the skills that you may not have.
    You may be able to make the best thing in the world that everybody wants, but if your shy and afraid of people and cant sell it you dont have a business, you have an idea that will never get to market, employee a sales person ( a skill you dont have) and you have a business.............
    Football teams dont all have defenders on the pitch they have the skills in each area on the field to get the job done.........simple enough
