The JC told me that restart has much greater funds available than they do.

you can get reimbursed for clothes and travel to interviews

also they can reimburse you a days travel card upto two times per week if you are going to interview and appointments 

Right, but that's not the same as having a large budget.  I'm not trying to be pedantic just for the sake of it, it's that I think you may need to temper your expectations of what and how much is likely to be available to you, particularly as most of the things you mention don't really relate to self-employment.

As you'll be self employed then you won't need to be reimbursed for travel to interviews or a travel card to travel. What makes you think you would be able to claim those?

It’s possible to be both self employed and still looking for training or part time jobs?

This was one of your questions
can I get funds for advertising, clothing and equipment to start a new business?

Have they confirmed this to you?
So have they answered the rest of your questions?

So for future readers of your thread finsing themselves in a similar situation, it would be very helpful to specify what kinds of financial help you've received for self-employment.
