Self employed

BIG MAC:
Rather than do the usual act in haste repent at leisure.....I am going self employed and need to do the following
Business plan
Speak to the Bank
Registration (will not need VAT year 1 at least I dont think so at this point)
Get an accountant
Let tax office know and apply for CIS status
Insurances
Website
Printing
Premises - from home initially but I have an eye on a unit which I can probably get v cheap (owned by family friend)
So I am looking for those on here with their own small businesses
I am setting up on a shoestring and can't afford costly mistakes.
I know quite a bit however never too old to learn so any advice, tips or tricks would be appreciated..
 
 

BBROWN1664:
Company registration is straight forward enough as is the website/printing, the thing to keep an eye on is the accounts. Others with much more experience than me will be along shortly though.

Gingernutz:
Getting a basic website up and running is a piece of pee these days - so don't pay anyone - have a look here http://buildyourwordpresswebsite.com/
there is normally advice free locally
Accountants are important - don't forget your wife will be working for you too...........  8)

Tori:
Good luck. All I can say is, if you can avoid being VAT registered for as long as possible, that'd be good! Get a good accountant, they'r worth their weight :)
