sure that you're really eager to get started at the moment.
What's your story? Who are you qualified through? Are you waiting on HMRC or a practice certificate?
You say in your other post that you have a limited company. You could start doing your due diligence on them as part of your acceptance procedures.
MLR prevents you from acting for them. It doesn't stop you from doing the work of starting to check them out although much of that work will not be possible until you have access to their records so you can see where their income is coming from and where their profits are going.
Hope that this helps,
Shaun.
