PLC and company law

The company i work within are looking to let fly a new initially National printed publication and online broadcasting medium, and we need to learn the formal technicalities about PLC/company law/getting investment etc etc
and also broadcasting media law such as liability/freedom of speach/what protection do we have??? etc etc when we are shouting out to the masses..

when i sterted out in business at 17 i was taught that a company is 'seperate' and that ltd companies are seperately liable without the directors being liable....
This has become a farse over the years as the cracks have appeared...
and has almost made me give-up bothering to do anything

SO

i'm not sure how much there is to know from a technical procedural point of view...
All i know is because of the power and nature of broadcasting to the masses it is important that the owning company is difficult to locate or infultrate in any way such as legal action for any reason...
or would be like an empty vesel that can sink without liability or harming of the 'actual' business core...

Nobody in our business wants to be a Richard Brandson or Rupert Merdok figure
i guess its more of a mer 'duk' preperation (dread the thought :)

We will be a major player in what is to be the current/next revolution to happen...
therefore Iwe are afraid of 'the actual core' of the organisation being a threat to
the existing systems eg:BBC/SKY/etc, etc
everyone will probably want to bring us down yet will probably stare in amazement as we reach critical mass...
so we need them to look elsewhere at their target like a mirage....

i heard Litchensteign is a safe place..
perhaps a double or tripple tear of companies(barriers) leading away from us? like a dung pit.. a shell within a shell within a shell and maybe an endless circle which is too expensive or time consuming for anyone to infultrate if indeed they find its location in the first place??

not sure how much we would need to know , if there is a quick course I could do?, or if its a simple admid/application set-up job with maybe some sort of frontman/advocat??
we definately will not want ANYONE to know we are the people who set it up or that we are the directors(in the furthest tear)if any??...

Also I need to know about the PLC thing so i can advise
we can advertise in our publication/broadcasts to easily get investors but doesnt there need to be someone to collect the money etc(like a fund manager/are they free??) and how do we maximise amount received without giving away the company...
it may be though that we might only need small investment for the publishing business core...(opportunities will come later once distributed and regular viewers)

If anyone can advise please do
or where should i go for advice

thanks

Injan
