Dh and I have decided to start up a small business in the area he's qualified in and I'd do the basic booking ins etc.
It will be a limited company.
He has the majority of the equipment but we've heard about the start up loans. Which would help massively for uniform, van sign writing, advertising and the few bits of specialist equipment needed. 1st month's liability insurance upfront etc etc.
My question is. Does he have to be already registered with hmrc as he doesn't want to do that until his employment notice ends at end of May as not sure if he was registered although not earning it would affect our current UC too ( but that's going to stop ASAP anyway)
Or will he need to wait for then, ideally if could do prior then it would help get everything set up raring to go.
