Going-self employed is a fantastic opportunity and experience. Doing a bit of research goes a long way.
good course
short but informative
A great module to introduce self-employed to learners in early stages to discuss what it entails "Self-employment means taking personal responsibility for cashflow, tax, VAT, loans and banking, insurance, legal compliance, pay and spending."
Really straightforward list style intro of how resources can be used as part of a programme.
Good advice.
