How does one register themselves as self-employed?
I want to become a self-employed accountant. I received a conviction last year for paying the wrong fare on the train with intent, but that in NO WAY goes against my integrity as a person, you know, petty crimes like that have been committed by ALL people, just not everybody has been caught. For that reason, I have been considering going self-employed. However, once I achieve a diploma as an accounts technician, how would I set up business?

Answer 1 :
You need an occupational license from your city and/or county. Register with the state to get a tax ID number. The easiest business to form is a sole proprietorship. Do some research online. Check out legalzoom.com to see the options you have. This site is really helpful and costs a lot less than hiring an attorney to do the work for you. Good luck, hope this helps.
Answer 2 :
All the steps you need to register self-employed are here on the HM Government website http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/selfemployed/iwtregister-as-self-employed.htm Probably worth looking to join one of the professional bodies like the ACCA if you're starting out and want credibilty. http://uk.accaglobal.com/
