You only need to register for VAT if you reach a certain threshold, i think its around 56-60K GBP. We deal across Europe from a UK Ltd company, when we supply VAT registered companies outside the UK they supply us with their registered VAT number. The invoice can then be zero rated. I'm not sure whether its worth setting up a Ltd business in the UK unless you are looking for TAX breaks, this may be a false economy as you then need to file accounts and pay for that to be done. One option is to register a UK Ltd company and set it as dormant, however you wouldn't be able to trade from that name.
