Just a bit of advice from me. I'd suggest you go to Bay Business in Morecambe, was a great help when me and my mate decided to set up an events business. They're expressly there to help with the snags of setting up a business and deal with a range of things for you. They tell you the tax issues, give you advice on marketing, set you up with a free hour consultation with an accountant and can offer advice on bookkeeping.
When I went there was myself, looking at putting on events, a lad looking at setting up as a window cleaner, and a woman who had set up an interior design business and we all got something from it. The guy taking the course was formerly from the small business unit at Barclays so he knew what he was on about.
Also, once you've done the intro meeting you usually qualify for all sorts of other useful courses in marketing, bookkeeping etc etc.
I know I sound like I'm part of the bloody company but I'm not, just think it's a great thing on our doorstep, we went to them last November and less than a year later we're putting on big international acts in Morecambe.
The website is http://www.baybusinesscentre.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2&Itemid=3
Hope that helps
