Hi, Im qualified to level 3 (didn't fancy going on to level 4 at the mo) and work as a book-keeper for a supermarket, i've had really good training and would like to begin to find some self employment ( I just want to offer book-keeping up to trial balance I don't really want to do year end for sole traders as I haven't done any, so don't feel i have the expertise to offer this).
I do want to apply for the AAT licence but not until I have a few clients (just in case I don't get any I don't want to spend the money!), could someone advise me on start ups. With due diligence what exactly do i need to do other then take a copy of ID - I did ask my old lecturer who said when I register for the licence I would get the due diligence forms (but I'm not ready to register as yet) and also when taking on new clients do I provide the accounts software or does the client? Sorry if it's quite basic, I haven't worked in accountants so I'm unsure of the start up basics. Thanks in advance
