I agree with the above being a sole director and shareholder are the minimum reqiurements.

The normal share capital used is 100 shares.

I agree with this many of my new clients ask for my help on company set up.

There are plenty of accountants on here why not give a few a call and i am sure they can advise you on company set and anything else you need to know

Brilliant! Thanks for the speedy reply

Appointing Director to a New Limited Company

I am a freelance IT contractor considering creating a limited company. I have read through the guides on this and other sites. It is not obvious to me who I would appoint as director of the company.

Can / should I appoint myself as director?

If so, then thanks, I'm done. If not, then I'll have a few follow up questions to post in the near future...

Cheers!
