Self Employment, benefits and expenses issues.

Yes, you're right, i see the 'expanding business' aspect, even though it was purely for business purposes, but had a dual purpose within the business that explains it well. Since 'start up' costs are not covered I understand its the situation were in that's making this more difficult than it normally would be. So until we can cover rent fully, we should expect that anything we buy for my partners business should he start one, would not be classed as expenses, unless it was grass seed or other consumables directly for the customer. We would have to swallow the cost and tighten our belts further until it all settled.

Thank you again, you have been absolutely invaluable to my decision making. Lots to read and discuss.
