What to do before opening a trading account (UK)

Hi all,
Apologies if these questions have been posted before.
Google doesn't seem to bring up much of what I'm looking for, and Iv had a few condescending replies on other forums (MSE etc)
I have been doing a lot of research and I think with a bit more, I will be ready to begin trading, specifically AIM companies and micro/nanos in the US

I have the money to dispose of (although that is obviously not my intention!), I understand the risks and I am a sensible, controlled person.

My first question is: Is there anything I need to consider (legally) before I begin trading? I know I need to declare profits to the tax man, but do I need to tell anyone else or declare anything to anyone before I open my account and get going?
Someone mentioned filing for a mergers and acquisitions? I don't know if they were being sarcastic? I know this is what companies do but does a trader need to do this or anything else along these lines?

My second question is: Which online broker do you recommend for a beginner/ someone with not a huge start up account? I have been looking at Hargreaves Landsown, they seem reasonably priced for fees and I can live with the £12.50 per trade. I have been following Aim stocks on there for some time with my research but they don't do many US stocks other than the large markets.

Any info appreciated
Thanks
