Starting a business while partner on ESA

Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice please.

My fiance and I have recently moved in together and I am in the process of being added to my fiances ESA claim. My fiance's claim is STILL in the assessment phase so have no idea whether she'll end up in the work or support related group.

However, I was wondering what the rules would be about starting up a business whilst on an ESA claim. Has anyone done this before? Can anyone offer any advice?

I know that as the ESA is Income-Related, there will be a maximum I can earn without it affecting her claim but as I say, any other advice would be really appreciated.
