Hi If you google it put in your area and some info should come up, apparently you have to be on jsa for 6mths or over to apply. I was interested for my son as well, good luck with your new business.

I've just phone the job centre and they told me that I can't apply for it as I haven't bin on JSA long enought is there any other help out there for people who want to start up a business ( I'm depressed that I can not get NEA) please help .

I'd like to know the answer to this too.

My personal opinion is that a business started up from a former JSA claimer is probably more likely to fail since many people will be coming up with business ideas just for the sake of a bit more money. Not all business' of course, but in comparison to those business started up out of a passion.. I think the government are wasting their money here (surprise surprise)

2moro i am going to my local chamber of commerce for a meeting with a few others where they tell you all about self employment. Have you got a local one or what about the local council?
