ILR- Self Employment Help

[Billyboy]

Hi Guys,
I am a silent reader of this brilliant web forum since last year. Now this is the time for me to ask some questions and I hope I will get best advise here.
I am going for PEO at Birmingham Solihull on 27th June 2012. My case is
Got HMSP June 2007
Got Tier1 June 2009
Question 1
From 2007 to October 2010 I was being employed in one company. I left the job on 31st October 2010 After 13 months of Struggle I established and started my own sole trade business and registered with HMRC as self Employed in December 2011.
I am IT Consultant and working for 3 Companies.
Company 1
ABC Ltd (Working as IT Manager and contract is £40500 for 18months. I invoice them every month and they pay me according to my requested figure. There is no fix monthly figure, I Invoice them according to my need.
Company2
Working as E Manager and Invoice them according to work.
Company3
Working on basis of services or fault calls.

I have following documents for proof of earnings.
Document 1
NI Class 2 Quarterly payment Bill. There is just one payment made as I registered with HMRC in December 2011. So this Bill is from December 2011 to April 2012. However now direct debit is set-up for future payments and I have that letter as well.
Document2
Financial Accounts made by my accountant
Document3
Letter from my account along with invoice summary
Document 4
Bank Statement from December 2011 to June 2012
Please advice if above documents are ok?

Question2
I got all the invoices as well (Electronic Copy) but quantity is 60 Invoices.
Do I have to attach those as well? As I always give invoice print out to customer and they keep it in their record but what can do is I can print these again for my self as well if invoices has to be presented with earning proof then does these has to be signed or certified by customer as well?

Will case worked be concerned with 13 months when I wasnt working?

Looking forward to your kind feedback.
Regards

Hi ,

It's 15 month before the application date and you can choose 12 months or less continous for the application purpose . So if you are getting the required amount in this last 15 month period , than you are good to go .

Invoices are good to keep with you and must be presented if you are asked by CW.Further , if you search the forum , you will find people who were in self employed catagory were being asked for Class 2 NI and invoices raised to cutomer . You have to come up with the list of customer you served along with there name and address as HO will send them confirmation emails / post letters (if required by them) . Self employed cases are always complex and decision on them are not within 1 day ( usually) as well .

In my opinion , go prepared and i wish you best of luck!

HO is always checking your income with 2 different proofs so even a contract of 100K will not qualify you for earning points . Money has to come to your account ( business ) and paid to you from there along with proper tax , NI paid.
