And if accountants do bookkeeping, payroll etc they charge you for this, believe it or not. I am more than capable of doing this, so will be doing so and saving the family/team/business money. I don't see why this is so controversial.

All I asked is do I need to set up the Ltd co or the bank account first...
Ltd Co first, bank second

I set up my ex's company and ran the books for him. I told the accountant what to do and my ex signed whatever I told him to. As soon as we split he wound the company up and went to a brolly.

It would be quicker if he set stuff up himself in the first instance. Yes you can do the research over what to pick but the bank will want to deal with him first as the earner not you.
Plus he is the one who needs to speak to the accountant first to decide what shareholding if any and what position you should have due to the fact you also work.

You will need a company and a bank account to support your new contract - or do the sensible thing and start via an umbrella until you get everything else sorted and you understand what you're both doing.
As has been said, talk to one of our preferred accountants before you go too far. And keep track of everything you spend getting the first contract up and running, much of it will be reclaimable.
