Do you know? 你知唔知呀？

After you have established a company, you need to provide your NI number for HMRC in order to set up your business tax account (and for your personal tax account as well). If you want to start your own business in the UK but you haven't applied for your NI number yet, apply for your NI number as soon as possible!
當你成立咗公司之後，你需要向英國稅務海關提供你嘅國民保險號碼 (NI number) 去設定你網上嘅公司稅務戶口（以及你自己嘅個人稅務戶口）。所以，如果你想喺英國開展你嘅事業，但你仲未申請 NI number，就好快快脆脆申請你個 NI number 喇！

Even if you don't have any income in the UK, but anywhere outside the UK, you still need a NI number for tax return to HMRC. So what are you wait for? Apply for a NI number now!
就算你喺英國冇收入，如果你喺英國以外地方有任何形式收入而需要向英國 HRMC 報稅嘅時候，都係需要一個 NI number，所以唔好等喇，點都申請定一個先啦。
