How do i go about getting a pension?

[Bristol spark]

Im 27, self employed (via ltd company). I have 0 pension, I've previously not done anything just incase i drop dead before pension age!!

However now I am edging further towards middle aged i realise this is not the wisest policy, incase i survive.....


So how does one go about sorting a pension?

I assume i can do this via my company with pre-tax contributions?

Do i need to get my accountant to sort this? or are there companies that sort this out?

Anyone any advice? I have absolutely no clue how pensions work.

Cheers

Blimey, this escalated..........

Just for the record, i wont be putting anywhere near £40K a year into a pension.
Maybe £500/Month as i would still like some money left to spend on myself before im in my 60's!!
