Good luck.

A few things to mention with regard to your website.

The registrant is down as:

Create Internet Ltd

Registrant type:
UK Individual

Registrant's address:
Unit 5E Westergate Business Centre
Westergate Road
Brighton
East Sussex
BN2 4QN
United Kingdom

I assume this is not you and you have paid a web design company to build this for you. All domains should be registered in the persons name not the company.

The pictures are not very good quality either. They are quite dark. The site doesn't have a wow factor. Sorry, it's just my view as a web designer.

also as someone what has run their own hosting business for the last 10+ yrs your whois information breaches Nominets Terms as the registrant is Create Internet Ltd but listed as a UK Individual, if its to be regsitered to Create Internet Ltd then the type needs to be UK limited company and steve1980 is wrong if the domain is for a lit co then it can be regsitered in the co name as long as the type is correct.

looking at the way the site is and the whois details are set up i bet that Create Internet Ltd designed and are hosting your site with a free domain which they have registered in their own 123-reg account and not in an account in your name.

Hello all,
I ve been a great watcher of MSE but never posted before!

Im in the process of setting up my own business and know that I need to register within the first 3 months as a new business with HMRC, the only bit that confuses me, is that is it 3 months from the first time I buy something for the business, e.g. Laptop, stock etc...Or the first time I actually sell something and start making money? I want to wait as long as I can before registering, delaying NI etc... As I still have a full time job that I will be doing also at the beginning (As long as all goes well, Wish me Luck!!!) I will be Sole Trader.

My first sales will be in April, so in the new tax year also, however some stock will be bought End of March...

Hope this makes sense, thanks for any answers in advance!

Hi
HMRC wiil send you a letter to remind you that you have to register for Corpartion Tax, as soon as you buy the ltd company HMRC will be notified and all documents sent to you.

So your company will be dormant, when i had LTD company my accountant has always specified 250.00 per month for corporation tax which covers my NI, all accounts are submited to HMRC on the dates they set out in their letter to you.

Three months from starting your business. So if you start in March, you have 3 months from March to register with HMRC.

You'll need to fill in one of these if you think you'll earn less than £5,075 (this may increase/decrease come April)

and one of these

If you haven't already you'll need to open a business bank account, there are various "deals" going around at the moment, Barclays offer upto 2 years free banking, Santander offer completely free business banking.

Hi
Is it 7475 now?

You don't need a webstie to sell theses items, ebay would be fine, if i am a nurse the hospital i work for will give me the items for free as its part of my job.

You are quoting a post which clearly states:

I will be Sole Trader

so this is irrelevant and misleading to other people reading for advice.

read the OPs post he will be a Sole Trader. It is the company that designed his website that is the limited company

read what i wrote. i was explaining who it looks like his site was setup and the domain regsitered.

Also what hospital are going to give equipment to any nurse so they could sell these for a profit.
