Answer 1 :
There si no register of business names in the UK, you can call yourself whatever you want as long as you dont pass yourself off as someone else. No idea whether you need an accountant - it depends on your own knowledge of accountancy.
Answer 2 :
If you are a sole trader (as opposed to a limited company) you can call yourself almost whatever you want, with the proviso that any legal documents, including letters, invoices, receipts etc contain a phrase similar to this: Joe Bloggs t/a Bytebusters or Bytebusters is a trading name of Joe Bloggs This is in the Business Names Act 1985. I would recommend you use an accountant - but if you have knowledge of book-keeping / accountancy then maybe yo could do it yourself.
Answer 3 :
If you are thinking of becoming a contractor, contact me, I used to be one.
Answer 4 :
Dead easy. Start trading. Get business bank account (your name trading as your company). Get company name. Tell HMRC that you are self employed (they will send self assessment forms). Pay NI monthly minimum. Keep books. Profit becomes your personal income and taxable as such. Don't need accountant necessarily.

Answer 1 :
Unless your job REQUIRES you to use a car during your job, then you don't need one. However, to get hired, you will be better off with your own transportation.
Answer 2 :
The two are quite separate. So the answer is yes you can. The problem arises when an employer wants you to have a driving licence as a condition of employment. Having said that you will pass your driving test so it will not be a great worry to you
Answer 3 :
What? The job involves money, they do not run a taxi service.
Answer 4 :
A licence is not a requirement to be an accountant, full stop. However, some employers may require you to visit clients, or it may be necessary to get to work. I know personally an accountant who doesn't drive, in fact cannot, but he gets to work by train and bus and has done for decades.
Answer 5 :
An accountant sits at a desk pushing a pen around. You don't need a driving license to do that.
