Correct, I must have this as a Ltd company even though I do not deal
with
the public, have no offices that ppl would visit, have no equipment that
I
might lug to work and drop on someone's toe (well, apart from the
laptop,
ipaq etc!!).
Hell, I even need employers insurance incase I, as an employee, decide
to
sue my own company eg because I as a company director did something I
the
employee feels is worhty of a suit :-/

Given that the membership of the group is not stable, there would need to
be
some sort of agreement on how to distribute said profits - company style
so
that you get the same divi as everyone else?  
Based on lenght of time you are a member?
What if someone want to be in the group but isn't ever going to join a
bulk
buy?
If I join the day before a div distribution, am I entitled to it?
etc etc.....
