Self Employed?

Options
I was wondering just how many self employed people are out there in the UK? if your self employed or work part time i would love to hear from you.

the reason i ask this is that i have set up a website called the self-employed-tax-calculator co.uk to help people with thier self employed tax. now i thought it would get really busy, but it's been a very slow starter.

is there a need for such a tool? if you want to give it a bash, ill give you a free six month trial on it, all you need to do is contact me from the website and ill set it up for you.

have a look, any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

  • I've been wanting to go self employed for a while, I work on the internet mainly, so I don't see why I get up and travel the 20 odd miles each way every day, to go to glasgow.

    It's a bit of a daunting proposition though.

    not a big fan of having to sign up for things on the web, especially a new site

    I cant see who your target audience is:

    High earners: use accounts to offset liabilities etc so have no use for the system

    Mid Earners: go to accounts annually- no reason to use the system

    Low earners: self assessment through HMRC is easy to use and is free so they would use that

    appologies if this isnt what you want to hear but its just the way i see it

    Extract from the Forum rules you need to read? In particular as I'm surprised you've got away with all your previous posts similarly being advertising.
    If you are discussing a field in which you work, make sure you don't tout for business, or mention or refer to your company name/website in any way
