hi guys
I lost my job months back and starting an online business
All jobs I have been applying for, say I am over qualified or declining me. I have now applied for Uber (taxi) lic and now behind in my bills. The taxi lic takes 2 - 3 months
Is there any help for unemployed with both a business ideas and waiting for my taxi lic ?
I have a car on finance costing £9,000 and a number of expensive gagdets at home, I dont want to pawn. But need assistance
please keep it polite, many thanks

I would suggest that we move this to the debtfree wannabe board so people can help with the bills part of the problem. And maybe look for the small business board to repost for ideas for your business financing.
On the debtfree wannabe board the first thing is that people will want to see you budget - all your income (assuming you're getting at least job seekers or whatever it's called now) and all your expenditure based on a couple of month's bank/card statements. Pop those into the statement of accounts (SOA, see my signature for the link) and copy it on to this post and people will help you deal with getting through the time until the money starts to come in.
Meanwhile I'm assuming you will need to ensure that your car insurance will cover you for using the vehicle for business - might mean a (hopefully slight) increase in premium.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Have you been claiming JSA? If so, I would suggest asking at the Jobcentre.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

UC said, they can only offer me emergency food allowance. I will be posting as advice in the Business forums also. But for now I need help. As adviced here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/81736811#Comment_81736811
