I've bought all the power and hand tools, and am planning to start up on my own doing small electrical jobs for people as a sole trader with small steps, the problem I think i'm going to have is being able to sign off the work when i've done it, my friend at college is working for someone so could help, but i've heard you have to be registered to sign off the work, which I can't get, i've done the level 3 C&G years ago. If i'm doing jobs for someone would they pay building control or the council to sign it off? Is there any way I could get the work signed off, or would the smaller jobs that don't need to be notified be enough? I just think there's not going to be loads of small jobs - so not much money. I take it the gov invested the money in the needed courses to actually do the job. My mum had someone do work on her house, he never got it signed off, i'm guessing there's an option of just not signing off the work. I'm in the poole area.
