Can I be self employed whilst on maternity

Posts: 62 Forumite
I am currently employed and will be going on maternity leave and will be receiving the usual SMP.
My question is i wanted to start a 'side business' whilst on maternity, selling home made crafts and I'd need to then set myself up as self employed. Am I able to be self employed whilst on maternity (I obviously wouldn't want the SMP be affected in any way)?
