    Depends on where you live, however are you searching for work if you have a ltd company? If so, JSA is possible... if not then no.

    It's based on income, depending on how long you've been trading you could hit the minimum income assumptions if your business is not deemed to be viable.

    But yeah, go onto the application site and check with your postcode to see if you're in a UC service area.
