a definition of a company is registered at companies house. If you're just after buying from a trade outlet, ie Macro, would they not just accept a business card? Are they really that bothered if u pay cash?

The first three months of starting a business, you can be a self trader, there after you have to register your company. While some companies insist on trading with companies only, others have a minimum order of the product you want hence its possible to make purchases from them. Check business ventures for more info or 'Business start up', they have good information on setting up business. Good Luck

You can be a sole trader (self employed) a partnership (of various sorts) or a limited company. Trade is slightly different, probably need evidence you are in the trade so a letter of recommendation, or maybe simply headed notepaper or business card. But no you cant just call yourself any old thing, there are restrictions. But if your name is fred bloggs you can be fred bloggs plumber!
