Too worried to start ...

[SmallMeister]

Hi,

I'm in with both feet here, sorry for the newbie stupidity! I'm into computers and am thinking of setting something up and running to get my computer skills out there! I'm thinking around training services, perhaps wesite services etc. I'm happy with the IT side of things, but I've never known what my legal position would be if I start "selling my services" on the net. Am I right to hide in a corner? :-) Anyone out there able to slap me down or pick me up, to get me going?

... any advice gladly recieved ...

Have you considered running a course at the local adult education centre? It's a good way to get your skills out there - and get paid for doing it.

If you want to sell your services online then it's just like setting up any other business. The only difference being that you will be working from home.

Running a course is a good option, and I had not consudered that, thanks! . I'm more worried about the business aspects, like do you need to have a company. Are there concerns about liability? Or is it just JFDI ...

Lots of good advice from business link.

Be quicker for you to read than try and answer all your questions here.
