Have any of you thought about going, or actually gone permie because of the hassle?

You should try running a Ltd in the Eastern Bloc (or anywhere corrupt for that matter), you won't get anywhere without bribes, things take ages, there's tons of overhead costs (you pay NHS even if you don't work, etc)
So that's hassle.
Running Ltd with a few clients is nothing.

Do you have several versions? Are you the latest release? You need an upgrade.
