Read the site a little closer, there are guides on there on how to set up your ltd company.

ok cheers.

and one final question, due to CSA i would want to avoid getting very shafted (i'm happy to pay, but dont want to lose 20% of income as my lad wont see it all anyway!), if i make my wife the director, how will affect me tax and pay wise? is there any difference as i assume i wont be the director in this scenario but an employee?

are there any good guides on how to set up and what is involved? i'm currently using an umbrella, but next contract will prob go Ltd...

i am after a walkthrough newbie guide. the only ones i can find are comparison, not how to do it!

any help please?

If you look to the right, you will see a link to a section titled "First Timers". Go and have a look at that to start with.

Also have a look at the contractors guide on the Professional Contractors Group website.

Also have a look at the free contractors guide on the SJD Accountancy website.
