Hi all,
I'm currently taking the Nail Technology City & Guilds Level 2 Award. I have a full-time job (Mon-Fri) and would really like to start doing nails in the evenings and weekends. My uncle has a hair salon and has offered me a space at the back for Saturdays and I was hoping to do it from home (I own my own home and want to turn the conservatory into the nail area) some afternoon/evenings too. I have searched the internet for advice but can't seem to get any regarding part-time nail techs. I have no clue where to start and I suppose my main questions are:
Do I need to register as a small business? I'll probably only be doing a few clients per week.
Insurance?
Can I make up my own business name?
Will I have to pay tax on my earnings if I don't need to register?
It's all very new to me and I want to make sure I'm doing things right before I advertise. The dream is to work for myself full-time but I guess we all have to start somewhere. Thank you in advance for the advice.
