No, that is incorrect. In the UK (certainly England) you do *not* have to register or have a license to trade as an organisation as long as you do not trade in a deceptive way; i.e. I can set myself up now (without asking anyone for permission) to trade as "The Small Fluffy Kitten Consulting Company" and then I am done. For tax purposes I am then classed as a "sole trader". No other differences. I (and others) have been having this argument with RIPE (hi Daniel...) for many years - in the "old" days you had to provide a copy of your "Chamber of Commerce certificate". Er, closed box thinking ? Peter
