Everyc council is different. I rang to explain what I was doing and they weren't that interested, I had to register that I was doing electrolysis. A month after I started I had a boardv outside my house and the next thing I know the council were round, wanting to book an appointment, there had been a complaint that I had set up a business and changed the use of my house, (complete crap). So he came round and checked everything out, and was fine as the room I used I said that the kids sometimes used it and had a tv and dvd player in there that was the only time it was in there. The guy was relly nice but said that I needed lazy chair or something it there (never did). He said that really I only should do 4 people aday and have a one in, one out. It was something to do with planning permission, changing the use of my house, (it's only one room.) there is a fine line apparently.
As for business rates something to do with me working from home that I don't have to because I pay council tax.
The room I use I only use it for my beauty as to tell the truth I don't need it and it was only ever a junk room
House insurance has been a big problem, alot and I mean, alot won't insurance us, because I have more than 4 people in a month. The insurance I have at the moment is with lloyds, it is more expensive but the woman said that it covers for business use as long as I still have my beauty cover. I have no end if arguements with complanies over this, they see you as a high risk.
I love working from home, I started in September and everything is great, it was only really little hiccups to start with but got there in the end.
