Self-Employment

The Self-Employment Kit contains business advice, self-employment information and accounting documents to help you set yourself up as self-employed, set up a business and develop your own accounting systems.

We all know the self-employment dream. But how do we become self-employed in reality?

The benefits of running your own business as a self-employed business person are highly attractive and highly rewarding. This Lawpack Self-Employment Kit provides a practical framework for those who are, or wish to be, self-employed as 'sole traders'.

The Self-Employment Kit combines a wealth of self-employment advice on the legal and tax requirements, as well as advice and support with the day-to-day practicalities of self-employment. It includes template documents for organising and preparing those all-important business accounts.

Don't just dream about being self-employed. Make it work with Lawpack's Self-Employment Kit.
