I'm looking for some advice on what i have to do to set up business on my own. I have to join RECI but do i have to get public liability insurance and what tax forms do i have to fill out etc.
If you are currently an employee Id sugges that you stay there for the time being as self employment is far from a good place to be at the moment.
There are no houses to wire so you'd be competing with established tradesmen for bits and bobs of jobs.
Thanks johnno09 but no, i was left go by in my previous job. I am picking up a good few bits to do on my own. I would like to be able to do these jobs and anything else i get without worrying about not paying tax on it etc. i am going to apply for the Back to Work Enterprise allowance which will allow me to hang on the my social welfare payment for up to 2 years. (dont even know if i am entitled to one yet) So wondering what are the costs involved. I have all the tools and van etc, so its just the insurance and the other paper work which i dont know about.
