Mobile beautician as second income

Hi

I hope I can get some advice?

I am considering doing a few beauty courses at my local training centre (nails, etc) and wondered how easy it would be to make extra cash. A few questions I have are:

Would I require insurance, how much would this be?

As it would be my second job would it be worthwhile?, tax, etc

Will I need an accountant?

Thanks

Weebear

    Thanks, so it depends what treatments you do? £30 per month I assume? Do you do this full time or as a second income?

    So much to think about

    Oh thats good for the year. I expectedd it would be the same but per month! Did you have to file tax returns, etc? Many thanks for your help!!

    I have my own make-up artist business. You won't need an accountant, but you will have to file tax returns. The best place for advice is Business Link. They do lots of free courses and have lots of advice on their website. Good Luck! x
    Hmmm will add up debt and stick on on later!
