I'm going to try and go in and see Lloyd's tomorrow to sort it out, as the general consensus seems to be, all legality issues aside, it's going to be a hassle convincing the agency to actually do it, so I might as well put the effort into trying to get the bank account open ASAP.Comment

Do you have proof of address now?
Are you an EU Citizen?I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

You need to speak with your Accountant and whoever advised you to make her a Shareholder, since this sounds like "Income Shifting"?

If she wants to swap identities as well so I can use her proof of address, the citizenship aspect isn't really an issue :P
EDIT: Oh, and she's not my wife but in Australia we'd be considered de-facto since we've been together over 5 years. Don't know if the UK has something similar?Comment

And income shifting is between "connected persons" where you retain control of the income. Partners don't count, especially if they use their own bank account.Blog? What blog...?Comment

She needs to be your lawfully wedded wife. No such thing as Common Law Wife in the UK. Fire your Accountant and get her off your Share Register.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it.

I dont think paying the money into a personal account as a director's loan would wash with the agency. As far as they're concerned, their responsibility is to pay the ltd co they are contracted with and not act as an intermediary and pay the directors (and rightly so IMHO).
There may also be questions about them acting as a managed service company if they did this.
As the director of your limited, its your responsibility to organise your co including ensuring the banking facilities are set up.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment
