Starting on your own UK

Hi there.

I'm a structural engineer with 10y of experience. I already have a one man show company in my home country. For the past 5 years my main client is a UK based company. They mostly work with small residential stuff like extensions, loft conversions, internal wall removals etc.

Right now I'm trying to find out how feasible is to start doing work on my own in UK, but without moving there. I'm thinking about opening LTD there and taking Professional Indemnity.
Idea is to try and reach out and try to connect with small architectural companies in UK and provide them with structural design services.

Do you guys think it's possible? Any advises?
