If you havent already make sure you do your tax credits renewal still. asap x
If you get housing benefits you will have to tell them and do a change of circumstances,if you were with the job centre tell them to.Apart from that your all sorted.x
Also take a detailed look at your contract (assuming you have one) to ensure there are no clauses with regards to working within a certain perimeter of current salon. Citizens advice will be able to go over your contract with you I think the main clause is usually regarding telling clients where you are going BUT most of them you will probably know out of work anyway so there's no need to announce it all in the salon! If it were me I would get everything set up first and then work my notice x
As Mrsmack has asked, do you have a contract with your current employer and are there clauses within it preventing you setting up your own business within a certain area, and from taking clients from their business.
You may have a problem with your boss, but at the end of the day it is their business that they have built up and their clients, and they can take action against you if you breach your contract.
Also i couldnt help setting up mobile close to the salon as its only 5 mins from my home! Lol x
Ye ill check but nothing he can do if i do mobile, i aint moving home lol x
All done , so yes basically I can still do my 16 hours self employed and still get tax credits for now, just need to tell them the week I'm starting up on my own to register.
Right what's the next step girls? Where do I go now, and who do i Tell etc xx
Sorry if I am going over old ground.... I had to notify:
House insurance... They may adjust your premium ..
Council Planning.. If your business is small they will probably make a note but need no visits etc. this will also establish if you need any licences for invasive treatments like electrolysis, earpiercing etc. They will advise if you need business rates (usually depends on hours/footfall/area of home used.
Liability Insurance... You Defo will need this!
Hope this helps....

I wont be doing hAir from my own home, i will be going to peopleS homes. Why would i need to do home insurance? And im a hairdresser not a beautican who does eAr piercing and electrolyis.
Also yes i know about insurance aswell, already had quotes.
I have been mobile for 7 months now and it's the best thing I have done. When I worked in a salon I ran a full column and got paid minimum wage and commission (I worked 45 hours a week). I find I am working half the hours and earning the same amount of money. I have lost some clients but I am steadily gaining new ones.
My previous employer was very bitter when I left and is taking legal action against me because of my restrictive covenant clause in my contract. And is accusing me of taking her clients, even though you are on good terms with your employer I would get it in some form of writing and signed to null and void your contract. People turn very nasty when they see your doing well for yourself and potentially taking "their" clients. I was employed for 12 years also.
