On-line – Becoming a Self Employed Gardener

Description

This information-packed workshop is aimed at gardeners who are thinking about working for themselves and will give you practical advice on how to set yourself up as self-employed. Topics include: deciding whether it’s the right thing for you, how to get started, what to consider, business planning, finances, your business identity, legal status and the services you choose to offer, how to register with HMRC, insurance, important paperwork and useful resources.

She will guide you through the stages that need to be considered before you start out as a self-employed gardener.

The cost for this on-line event, is £35 per WFGA member, £45 non WFGA member.
