    I've often thought of starting a business but I am unsure of one vital element.

    If I have a product or service and a customer wants to pay.How do I take the payment? Do I need to have a Point of Sale system (i.e. credit card facility)?
    Is there an alternative way such as sending an invoice so they cantransfer the funds to my bank account? If so then a VAT number is needed right?
    As I am employee as well and have a PAYE payments under my PPSnumber, can I also have a VAT number to issue to my customers?
    How does one apply for a VAT number (presuming the VATnumber and PPS number are different)?

    Any input would be helpful.

    You have to apply for your VAT number first and then they'll give you your PPS as a VAT number if your sole trader IIRC
