    You only need to bother companies house if you are trading as a ltd company and if ltd company you are still an employee so no need to register with HMRC as self employed.

    National insurance is also HMRC , I assume that is what the OP means.

    As per comeandgo , no need to register with companies house.

    OP you can find a help number for HMRC and phone them to ask they are often surprisingly helpful.
