Do you sell handmade things?

Options
My Mum and I are thinking of starting a small business selling handmade items online, I was just wondering whether there are others on here that do the same.

    There are plenty who if not doing this, want to do it, as there is usually one new thread per week about this topic.

    I tend to agree with lincroft, there is at least one thread a week about hand made stuff and/or home made jewellery. It;s an absolute cut throat business, you need to have something that really stands out before you invest too much time and money in the business.

    Some threads here:

    Also, whilst this thread really covers the stock part of a business it does have some useful info about how to register with HMRC etc:
