Whats the scheme called for testing a business on benefits?

Hiya

My LP adviser mentioned some scheme where you can test a business idea for so many weeks before losing income support. Does anyone have a link or a name for it as I am trying to get together a 5 year plan, sad I know!

Thanks

    Test trading is correct. Be careful though as you may be better off claiming WTC than going down this route.

    Thanks peeps

    I managed to find a PDF on Test Trading last night, granted its from Northern Ireland but I assume its just the same as the rest of the UK?

    Sounds very longwinded and doesn't look like they pay out realistic childcare costs but I guess its something else to keep on file.
