Im new too bro and to get a trade account you need a business card or letterheaded paper to give them, vistaprint was best place i found.

You can register as self employed online and they will send you a return of what else you need to do in the post and what not.

Alright Callum, just starting up myself and as LJB suggested have had some business cards printed by Vistaprint. Haven't received them yet but have been a bit worried by some reports saying they sell your details to other companies and take out £9:95 a month out of your account as part of a hidden rewards scheme. Google 'Vistaprint scam' for more info.
Also visit HM Revenue & Customs:Starting in business for info about tax related stuff. I was able to sort out all this by phone (0845 915 4515 I think)
Hope this helps, good luck.

If you have a computer and are computer literate, put this to use.
You can make invoices, quotes, business cards/designs, stationary and most ther things for the everyday running of a business.
it will also save you money in the long run, being organised and looking professional are 2 points to remember.

Good luck
