Business idea but need some help

<< < (3/8) > >>

sleeplessparadise:
I only know about the insurance etc. as I used to work for Age Concern helping the elderly in their homes. When I decided to leave a lot of my clients asked me if I would still go as my own business so I did look into some of the things. The other thing would be business mileage on any vehicle you do use to run the business because you are not going to one place of employment so you need that but as I assume she will not be going far this generally doesn't add too much to the premium  ;)

Sharpshooter:
Im not much help.

But my sister does this.

She cleans very large and posh houses. She doesnt have too many, but she works 5 days a week. She does have her own hoover. But she uses the cleaning products the people supply. This way, if anything goes wrong, its down to the owner. (Ie chemical reactions etc).

She also uses her everyday car. No need to advertise if your good at it. Maybe at first put out the feelers, but my sister never advertised. All done by word of mouth.

She also house sits for the people when they go on Holiday. Its a small break for he, and the peoples houses she looks after have the peeace of mind their house is ok whilst they are away.

She got two tickets to the Monaco prand Prix last year, as one of the customers works and lives there in the week. She got full use of their appartment, and prime view of the race. This was great, as my Brother in Law is an F1 nut.

She also keeps her own accounts, and does them once a year. About christmas time i think.

In and out goings like fuel cleaning products any thing that you use for the business really.
If you find a acountant and ask them how they like there books doing ,then do as they like it done that way your acountants bill will be lower then if you just chuck all the paper work at them and tell them to get on with it .
Then again if you don't think that you will turn over much the first year give self assesment a go .
I did in my first year .I just went in to the tax office and they helped me fill it in.
One thing with acountants though is they will make sure that your claming for everything you can it's there job to ,you know what i mean?
Richard.... good luck

contact your local learning and skills council (LSC) they will be able to provide contact details of your local 'business link' who will have advisers and access to government funding for new businesses
