Looking for some business advice. Basically a "Self employed starter kit" things that you need to get to set up on your own, such as public liability insurance for example.
I have the usual qualifications such as level 3 2391, 18th edition, fire & emergency lighting, IPAF licence, ECS probably missing some but you get the idea.
What other things do I need to consider? for example if I want to sign off completed work & EICR's do I need to be registered with the NICEIC/NAPIT?
The relevant bodies that need to be informed for works such as mains board changes, ISITE (PA Testing) Fire & Emergency lighting reports etc...

I'd also like to know a little bit about Sub-contracting to other sparks &/or companies (I'm thinking this could be a viable option through slow periods?) Typically what's the rate of pay like for subbies (outside London)?
