Going freelance
Hi to all fellow parents out there....
I'm about to be made redundant and have decided to go freelance and set up my own website, etc. I am a marketing and communications officer at the moment but have ten years experience so want to try consultancy/contracts.
I wanted to know if anyone has done anything similar, and if so if you had any insecurities about skills, finance, etc.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello jadeasije
Welcome to One Space!
Hopefully you will get some input from someone who has gone through this transition but I have some general information for you.
First of all have a word with your local JobCentre Plus, as one of our other members was told about a buisness start-up scheme that is coming on board. See here for the link where we discusss this. Secondly do use the free services of our one 1-2-1 Money Advice service who have lots of experience in matters financial. I would also recommend Business Link, who provide free courses in doing your own accounts and tax returns as well as being a mine of information
