Hi all
I've been browsing the forums for a couple of days, reading the first timers guides, intro with an accountant, questioning various contractors I know etc., all in the assumption that I would start up a ltd company in the next month or so with a view to contracting.
My wife is due to give birth any day now (already overdue) so my plan was to take the next 4-5 weeks out and live on savings, whilst finding some time to determine what I need to do in regards to taking the plunge.
All of a sudden, my old company have asked if I could contract for them 1 day a week, whilst I am taking time out. The role would not be what I was doing before. Anyway I now have an urgent need to sort things out very quickly (they want me to start this Friday), so have been reading as much tonight as possible, however as I don't know how much time I have in regards to my wife going into labor, I need to clarify a few things in a rush, so could anybody confirm if the following is a fair list of what I should do in the next day(s):
1. Create a company - accountant said they would handle this, as well as initiating company bank account
2. Join PCG
3. Get Professional Indemnity insurance - going to use QDOS
4. Get contract reviewed - going to use Bauer & Cottrell contract guardian
I know this probably isn't exhaustive, however are these the key things I need to urgently do / are the major start up costs? I just don't want to miss anything obvious. =)
