How do start a home business in the UK?

We Answered:

There is no cost to register a business name in the UK. For example you can use your own name or something like 'At Home Computer Repairs'.

However, you need to tell the tax office that you are starting a business.

As for insurance you can see this article http://www.successful-home-based-busines… which is about home business insurance. It summarises what you need to do.

Also on that web site you'll find useful information on marketing and so on. There's also a specific article on starting a computer repair business and I've given this link below.

Finally, if you go to the 'Start Up' menu button and scroll to the bottom of that page, you'll see a link to an article about 'help starting a small business'. If you click on that, it takes you another article which tells you where to get more information about starting a home business in the UK.

Good luck with your venture.

Where can i get funding for a new business? UK?

We Answered:

Be very wary of dealing with anyone who is not regulated or authorised under the FSA or OFT.

Try your local chamber of trade and commerce-these are very good for new business start ups and will point you in the right direction.
If you are currently unemployed-try inbiz via your local DWP offices.
There are also regional development offices offering grants and support.
Hope that helps.....and good luck with your new venture.

Do you trust insurance companies more than climate scientists?

We Answered:

I always knew it is very dangerous to live in UK and trust their Insurance Companies as well as their scientists. That is all I can say to you. Move out.

Travel insurance to visit UK.?

We Answered:

I dont believe that it is mandatory, but as with travel to any other country, it is highly adviseable. If (God forbid) you became seriously ill, you would be entitled to emergency (A and E) care but that would be it, any ongoing care and treatment - you will be charged for and trust me, it is expensive when you have to pay for ever little test and tablet.
