If you don't consider you are going to have a huge turnover then
merely register as a Sole Trader.
You will have to pay additional National Insurance Contributions on a
quarterly basis (I think it's about £10/month) and will have to
complete an additional page on your Self Assessment Tax Return stating
turnover, costs, profit etc., but apart from that you really don't
have to do much at all.
In addition to this I would say there are two essential things:
* Create a simple invoice template, make sure it's very easy for
you to invoice customers efficiently and that it's easy for them
to pay you: most people will pay you when you ask so make sure
you do so;
* Get a good accountant, it will cost you a few hundred quid a
year for the basic stuff you need to do for a small company or
sole trader but it's definitely worth it.

And if it is not already obvious, the way to get an accountant is by
recommendation from someone you trust. Not by picking from a list.
