I was thinking that in respect to subbies. I haven't got it yet, but I will look into it.
Many thanks for the good luck messages - in case you were wondering, we had a little girl called Heidi.

I'm just about to purchase PCG+ membership, Prof Indemnity insurance and Public Liability insurance. Is there any need to get Employers Liability insurance too?
By the way, the baby has still not arrived - almost time to induce!!

Oh, and please be gentle with northernladuk - I think you just about gave him a heart attack by actually doing some research before posting here.

You can still register for VAT if you dont meet the threshold it all depends on if it is going to be good for the company.

If your VATable turnover breaches the threshold, then you need to register. If you have considered the benefits / downsides of being in FRS, then you should consider whether you should do this.
There is no NEED to do either.

Many thanks for the replies. =)
The accountant is sorting out FRS for me as well. I'll be talking to him in the next hour or so.
With regards to QDOS, as far as I can see they have 2 options for reviews:
1. £85 per contract review - I'm not sure if this a pass only cost or not (i.e. if it fails and I get the contract altered, do I need to pay £85 again for another review)?
2. A bundle of 3 reviews in a year
The reason I am leaning towards B&C is that it is unlimited over a year and they will also negotiate the contract changes with the client / agency for me.
NorthernLadUK - Is it definitely the case if I take PI & PL insurance with QDOS that I get free reviews (I can't see any mention of that when selecting their products - I may be missing something blatantly obvious). Also if so, do you know if there is a limit to the number of reviews?
And of course, my priority is my wife and little one to be
