I'd suggest using http://www.4business.com/ where it takes literally  
minutes to set up a company with a name you decide on and costs from about  
£35.  I've used them a couple of times over the last few years (and  
suggested them to firends in your position) and it seems to get cheaper  
each time.  You can even get a brass sign to put on your house!
