a friend has now run out of money should she

sign on?..the money ran out for her business set up - contracts that were supposed to come in did not yet come. she is also looking for work but had no response yet. up to now she has not signed on in the hope that something either side would come up. she is worried that if she signs on for housing/weekly money it will affect her ability to buy again (though she is skint) when she sells up her house too. does it affect her or not? any other advice appreciated. thanks for any advice.

    She couldn't sign on JSA anyway until she shut the business. She should be able to qualify for Income Support and/or Working Tax Credit in addition to CTB and HB.
