Getting Started With Skills For Self-Employment
A short and condensed course telling people how to start their own business by someone who did it for 7 years whilst still employed as a teacher. You will learn about the legalities of being self employed, tax and VAT obligations and what to look for when signing leases. Also how to use business concepts such as cash flow, break even and how to legally change your final accounts in your favour – something your accountant may not tell you. After the two weeks course instruction you will have the opportunity to have a 1-1 session discussing ideas and options specific to your enterprise. Prosp User 3
