Answer 3 :
If you are part qualified you should be aware of your Institute's guidelines on setting up and operating your own practice. There are many complicated regulations to be followed, and for most people this compliance is enough to dissuade them from setting up in the first place. If you don't follow them, there are disciplinary proceedings which could lead to you being barred from accountancy work full stop.
