Hi
you only need to register the business if you are setting up a limited company, there are many online egistration agents or this can be done directly with companies house website.
From date of starting you have 3 monthsgrace before you are required to register as self employed with the revenue, this is just a phone call.
Records - keep all receipts and a log of all takings, this will help ith your tax return.
Advertising - what have you got planned? there are some websites that you can list your business on (some better than others). Do you intend to have your own website?

Good luck with your venture!!!

If you continue your current status as 'employed' and offer mobile services in your spare time, you won't be classed as 'self employed' but you are required to declare the additional earnings.

Hey!
Thank you both for your replies xxx
Im hoping to get started soon. Regarding advertising, Im going to stay local to begin with, so just gonna get my name out there with some flyers, business cards etc. We have lots of Mum and baby groups and things like that in our area so im going to 'hit' them! haha xxx Im hoping word of mouth will do its job (as it already has done, and i dont qualify for another 4 weeks lol). If it works well in my local area then i will spread my wings a bit and get 'prper' advertising and maybe a website xxx
So am i right in thinking....Just make sure i keep hold of all my paperwork! Document everything etc x
Thanks so much for your advice xxx

The only thing ive forund, that annoys the life out of me, is some of these courses are aimed at people who are out of work....im employed, and re-training in something different to 'better myself', so 9 times out of 10, im not entitled to any help xxx But ill give them a ring xxx Thanks again xxx

Actually, you will be classed as self employed and employed at the same time and you must register the date, you started in self employment, within 3 months.
