Hi all - my first proper post so please be gentle
I am starting up work self employed and am going to be renting a room in the upstairs of a small hair salon to do holistic & beauty therapies, and eventually nails. It'll just be me, working on my own with one client at a time. The room is small and is just that, one room.
What I would like to know is;
a. What insurance will I need to purchase? (got Public Liability from treating friends and family, do I need a Tools of the Trade cover or such like, and anything else? Like when you rent a house, you would get Contents Insurance...)
b. Do I need some sort of license to have my little portable CD player on, just playing relaxing meditation music? Nothing famous, just some freebie CDs I got with a magazine!
c. What/when do I need to tell the Inland Revenue? Will they hit me with a bill for like, £8000 after 12 months?!
d. Do I have to have the likes of my wax heater and CD player properly certified/tested to be able to use them?
I think that's it for now...I am hoping that as I am a 'one-man-band' as it were, that some of these won't apply to me?! *crosses fingers*
Thanks in advance!
