Thanks to many people here in this forum who helped me clarify many of my queries. I looked into going through a legal rep or a solicitor but I ended up applying on my own. I somehow realised that I seem to be knowing more than them, in some cases. I had an appointment for 8am today. I woke up at 44...

If someone could clarify on the 'Self-employed'..that will be great.

Thanks for the quick reply Manka.

"CW: Are you self employed? Me: No, I am employed - working through my limited company. " Thanks for this post. I think this post clarified my confusion around self-employed.

Hi tier1_newbie, Did you mention yourself as Self-employed? I am assuming 'Yes'.

Hi Manka10, Can you please explain: 1. When you said, "If you are registered as self employed" - does it mean the certificate of incorporation of the private limited company.
