This. You need to earn A LOT more to make it worth the hassle of being self-employed or running a limited company if you are basically working for one employer. Either you have to spend unpaid hours doing paperwork or pay someone else to do it (most likely both). And if you turn over more than �77k you'll have to do VAT as well. Factor all that into your calculations. Also check what the deal is about claiming expenses, using a company vehicle/mobile/computer etc if you aren't on the payroll.
What's wrong with staying where you are, with all the benefits you get there?
To replace what you've got now you may need to buy a pension, life insurance (your current company probably provides some nice death in service cover), professional indemnity insurance, personal health insurance, private medical insurance... As well as covering holidays, bank holidays, tax, NICs etc and paying yourself a salary. |

That's just the money side - quality of life stuff is less easy to quantify. Contentment is worth a lot, happiness is worth more and your health is priceless . |
