    Default What do i do now i have my registration certificate?

    This maybe a stupid question but what do i do now i have received my certificate???I have started advertising and am looking into car insurance and public liability insurance. Who else do i register with??- HMRC etc?? I am confused and minds all over the place as so excited Yay!!But am worrying about getting things sorted ready for prospective parents.

    If someone could guide me on what and where i should go now. Thanx in advance.

    I have not done HMRC or ICO and am now panicking!! I have done my public liability insurance and I was told as long as I have this that was fine with my mortgage company who I have my house insurance and I don't drive so don't need to worry about car insurance.

    Can someone please explain HMRC and ICO, what do I need to do and does it cost anything? Is it something I need to have in place now? I am starting to worry that I will not be ready especially as I have had 2 prospective parents in the last week and I thought I would be ready if they want me!

    I feel as if this is all going to go wrong!

    Thanks in advance

    Do you need to register with ICO if you only plug your camera/phone in to your computer to print off pictures? I dont actually save or store any of them or any other information about my mindees on my computer?

    Thanks

    Hi, Id just give them a ring and explain that you want to register as self employed but you have not actually started earning as yet and see what they say.

    When I did my training I was told not to register with HMRC until I was actually earning but I rang them when I had somebody who was interested and they said that I should have called them as soon as I started advertising so I would give them a call asap.

    I was told you have three months to register once you are earning in case you change your mind. It would be nice if everyone was told the same thing!! Its so frustrating.
