I am going to set up as a self employed bookkeeper (one client in the pipeline) I have got the software/home office. My main question is what else do i need? do I need insurance or any other legal things?
I would recommend you have a look at Arlington Professional Risks 01761 463 667. I use them as they have a scheme tailored for bookkeepers and they are extremely good (and professional). Trafalgar Risk Management Ltd also comes to mind; I've used them in the past but they are harder to talk to.
