I will indeed be travelling to the UK a minimum of 1 week a month but I don't believe US citizens are bared from doing that as a visitor. I will not be establishing residency in the UK, where that could be viewed as falsifying circumstances.

Thanks all for the input.
I think this probably will work better. I worked on a similar basis for a UK company a few years ago - submitting invoices and working as a "contractor" but without the periodic visits to the UK. If your visits get "too frequent" the immigration agents will start to raise issues on your arrival to the UK, but as far as I know, you should have no UK tax liability until and unless you establish some form of residency there.
Cheers,
Bev
