    Dave. There is lots of information out there, so unless you want to pay £100's for financial advice, think carefully!!
    Are you saying you want to go self employed, as well as being employed? If so you really only need to contact the Inland Revenue, and put aside a small amount of money for your Tax Bill. Also contact the National Insurance and pay your stamp. As for starting a Limited Company, well that is upto you. What is it you hope to benefit from if you do so?
