If I'm filling in a 'financial form' I put down that I am a director, but if I am filling in something else I just put down self employed.

The chances are if you put down "employed", you will need to provide payslips as proof of income; if you declare "self-employed" or "company director" you will need to provide accounts or an accountants' certificate, sometimes backed up with tax assessments. I have just spoken to a mortgage broker who told me that there is effectively no self-certified market any more so any lender will require the above proof of income. If you are employed some write to your employer for a reference - which, as director, you would need to sign yourself!!
The other problem you could experience is that lenders can understand "employed" and they can just about understand "self-employed" but they really don't get "contractor" or "freelancer".

Depends on the rules of the institution you are applying to. Often they regard controlling directors as self employed.

If it is because you are applying for credit, then putting employed scores better in credit scoring models than self-employed

Changed my mind. I think put Company Director and not employed. Found this which has some useful comments .. http://www.paypershop.com/phpBB2/i-a...oyee-t465.html

So far I've been putting employed with my ltd as my employer but I'm not sure whether this is right or not...

Self-employed normally applies to sole traders.
