self employment, invoicing and tax affairs 26th april

Steve Gordon (aucb careers adviser)

Is freelancing right for me?

Qualities that are required to be a freelance illustrator; ability to cope with uncertainty; superior networking skills; being self motivated; self marketing skills; belief in yourself; self discipline; energy.


What do you need? equipment; studio/workplace; transport; how much do i need to earn to cover these essential living costs and at the same time making some profit.

Steve also explained the scary, hard to understand stuff. Sole Trader; no registration costs; personally liable for any debts; self assessment tax return;

I have considered freelancing especially more recently but i dont think its right for me at this point of my life; i think i need a constant source of income starting of in this business to build myself up.
