i have been self employed all my life but im afraid all that is about to end as my business has completely collapsed. i am now going to have to sign on, which is going to be a huge dent on my pride but i can no longer continue as i am nearly bankrupt. i also have a wife and 4 kids to support. this is all new to me so i am not sure how to go about everything. i have a few questions to ask for now to help me feel my way. i would greatly appreciate if some people could help answer some of the questions i have to ask.
1. how much should i hope to get for a wife and 4 kids
2. the line of work i am in i would get 20 hours a week working, so i have been told that i would get a thing called fis which would add more money to my income each week. i do not know how this works.
3. i have a mortgage of 595 euro per month,would i get help to pay this.
i would greatlly appreciate any help
