So presumably after a year they would be classed under the minimum income floor on universal credit anyway. I don't know what the rules are currently, but basically they wouldn't get anything because they would be assumed to be working 35 hours a week.

Depends entirely on their circumstances. Single, even a couple, not disabled, not renting, probably not. A couple, with children, renting, may well still be entitled to some. 

Dont take it personally but please use your brain before writing here so people do not waste their time

Spoonie's advice was correct, the MIF doesn't apply to everyone that's self employed, it depends on your circumstances.

I'm always happy to be corrected, if you could kindly explain what exactly was wrong about what I wrote?

srpsrp made a general observation about people who have a mix of employment and self employment. Spoonie pointed out, correctly, that whether or not this would result in nil UC payable would depend on the circumstances. Can't see anything wrong with that.
