Hi all
just looking for some advice on my situation. I am a self employed block layer (soletrader) but in recent times I have been making wooden gifts purely as a hobby, but this has generated a lot of interest and have a list of willing customers. I never expected it to take off but it has, so what is the best way for me to go about this. I wouldnt class it as a business at the minute but potentially could be, I will be taking in payment for work so whats the best option for me to have it all above board. Also do I need to register another business name with CRO if its on such a small scale, its something I love doing but not enough to give up the day job, maybe attend a few craft fairs or farmers markets and possibly bring in a little extra income.
