Sound familiar?

Nobody hands you a checklist.

You decide to work for yourself and suddenly you’re supposed to know how to register, what records to keep, when tax is due, what you can claim, how to invoice people and approximately 47 other things nobody mentioned.

So we put the important stuff in one place.

Things to sort, apparently:

Register with HMRC (or not?)
Work out what records to keep
Figure out when tax is actually due
Know what you can claim
Send your first invoice
…and about 47 more

What’s inside

Three sections. The important stuff, sorted.

Not another ebook to download and forget about. Short guides you can bookmark, templates and calculators to download, and the tools we’d actually recommend.

Questions

Good to know.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay £19 once and keep access for life, including any updates.

How do I get in after I buy?

Your account is set up at checkout. Sign in and you’ll go straight to your Starter Pack dashboard. We’ll email you the link too, so you can bookmark it.

I’m already a Club member. Can I still buy it?

Yes. Sign in before you buy, or at checkout, and the Starter Pack unlocks on your existing account.

Is it for sole traders or limited companies?

It’s written for UK sole traders. If you run a limited company, the tax and admin rules are different, so it isn’t the right fit.

Does it replace an accountant?

No. It’s general information to help you understand the basics and get organised.

What if it isn’t for me?

You can cancel within 14 days of buying for a full refund. Just email members@theselfemployedclub.com.

Ready to feel a bit more sorted?

One less thing to figure out. Find what you need, sort it, and get back to the work you actually want to be doing.
