Starting my own business, but currently on benefits - is there anyone who has been in a similar situation?

Can only answer from my husbands point of view

He was made redundant and decided to start up his own business

the job centre were very supportive and allowed him to still get JSA as long as he was working less than 16 hours a week

Then he went onto a 'business start up' package which paid £60 a week for 16 weeks,

this was a God send in terms of surviving until the business got off the ground,which off course takes time

Ask at your local job centre to speak to a business advisor and they will give you lots of support,including financial support as long as you have a robust Business Plan
