[AccessD] OT - Starting On My Own

Make sure you have all your ducks in a row before you start out with 
regards to
incorporation or sole proprietorship (see accountant especially with 
regards to taxes), get a corporate bank account
after establishing incorporation, get your corporate VAT number. If I 
remember right Inland Revenue takes some odd views
on whether you are self employed or not (check this out). All these 
little things may take up to two months to sort out.

PS don't be reticent to walk away from a project you are unsure of, 
especially when starting out.
