This thread is now well off topic, but yes, I sat down with an IFA, a good friend of a good friend, with a stack of paperwork this high, and had the expected conversation, ending with something like:
" So, who pays you again? "
" I do "
"And who is ****ltd ?"
" Me "
" And how does the cash get from RYR to BRK to CXC/MAC to ****ltd to you?"
" I have no idea.."
" Nobody is going to lend you the price of a cuppa, mate..."
So I went to a well known high street bank and the conversation went:
" Yes, well you have a reasonable income. Not as high as we'd expect from an airline pilot..."
" Tell me about it."
"...but I think we can make you an offer."
Two weeks later, it was a done deal. It is possible.
Back to the thread topic, I am looking forward to enjoying my newly defined employee status as owner (?) of shiny new company ID!!
