I recently quit my job and started freelancing (doing semi-geeky shit). The company that is currently using my services made it clear they'd prefer dealing with a company rather than an individual. So I guess I need to set up a company. But what is the best way of doing it? I'm not really a company - just an individual. So I don't think I need to set up a limited company or anything, but I'm a bit clueless about what I should do. Obviously I could Google it, but I prefer my search results to be peppered with sardonic advice on keeping my heaters on / windows down. Anyone got any advice?
And what should I call it? Simply my name? I quite like the sound of The Richie Group, but that's a bit of a grandiose name for a no-mark like me.
Have any other P+Bers set up their own company etc? Is there even a difference between a company and a business?
