Starting a company on a Tier 1 (General)

Dear All,
I am on a Tier 1 (General) visa, was wondering if I could start a private limited company and be the sole director? This means I could do jobs for clients.
Thank you all for your help.
Regards

Yes, no problem ..

You can even start a company without having a UK visa (you won't be able to work here though).

Not correct. There are many people who have extended their visa on dividends, its just that people didn't find or do not reply after they got approval/extension. We are all affraid of unknown.

My colleague has extended it on dividends.Its just that we need to get things straight and keep things simple (e.g. dividends,expenses etc.)
