Can i work this job as a sole trader ?..

[Atanas Georgiev]

After 2 months i think to start a new business as a sole trader.My business will be Mobile car wash and valeting(which means that I will go to the customers ).I will buy everythink for this job (car,pressure washer,micro fibers, and everythink what i need to do this job).I made the marketing of the business(web site,business cards and flyers).
So,my first question is: Can i work this job as a sole trader (self-employed)?
My second question is: Can I do two services together as a sole trader?(For example- mobile car wash and cleaning services)
Thanks!

I know what is the procedure for opening Sole trader doing one service,but can you tell me what is the procedure for opening a sole trader doing two services?


Can you answer me to the first question (Can i work this job as a sole trader?)

It will be all under your cleaning business, if you want to keep it as two separate trading names then you need to keep records for both businesses and once you come to file your tax return, just add both trading names as two business sections

for example name of the car wash buiness- DH mobile car valeting,and cleaning business-DH cleaning service.Can you tell me what i have to write on Self assessment(swf1) form:

14. What is the name of your business? If your business does not have a name leave this box blank
15. What sort of self-employed work do you do?

Regards!
