    Mortgage & being self employed

    Its harder now than it was last year although it is possible to get 'self cert' mortgages still...(you don't have to prove your income) however, you usually pay far higher interest rates as you are more of a risk in the lenders eyes, and its uaully only 80% LTV so you need a hefty deposit or...

    I had my home salon in myconservertory for about a year and a half before I got my log cabin, mine dosn't get full sun at all but it did still get very hot in summer, I got a portable air con unit for this which cost about £200...it was fine in winter as I had a radiator fitted. I have to say...

    Home Salon or not

    Thats how I got started - by renting a room in a tanning salon for a while and then I decided to set up from home because of lower costs (rent/childcare etc)..it was the best descision I ever made, most of my clients continued to come to me at home and I have been going for 3 years from home...

    kitchen or purpose built shed 'salon'?

    I have water in mine, if you are having water and drainage then you need planning permission, but its best to check anyway. I have my contents insured through salongold and the building is insured under my home insurance. You need permission off your mortgage provider to work from home. hths

    kitchen or purpose built shed 'salon'?

    I have a log cabin and I love it, so do my clients.....it's much more professional than working in your house imo, and I like the fact that clients are not comming into the house at all (as I have a toilet in mine too). I had mine insulated and I have a heater in there too, and it has been...

    Do you think I should tell clients im a guy B4 they book?

    I don't see why you should have to say.......male hairdressers don't feel the need to tell potential clients they are male.....and as others have said, when you take their calls they will know anyway.:)

    Anyone self employed and claim back some of their child care through tax credits??

    Don't forget as weel with tax credits that if you make a loss in any year it is offset from any other earnings your housedhold has.....so if my husband has earnt £10,000 this year, but I have made a loss of £2000, THEY ONLY COUNT £8000 of his earnings when calculating your tax credits at the end...
