Hi, I don't see the point in arguing about this. I've contacted the Council for more information about income support. So I guess I'll take it from there. See you on the meeting on 24/4 then.

Since Ingeus/Elect don't have any founding. I think it could be that the Job Centre were just ignorant, when they called my business a 'hobby'. Since Ingeus seems to take it seriously. Perhaps you could check out if I could go on the New Enterprice Allowance Scheme then, with the Jobcentre. Because I'm not sure if what the Jobcentre did was right. Calling my e-business just a 'hobby' doesn't seem like something thought throgh, I think. I can't focus full-time on my e-business now, you see, since I also have to do my job-search. So if I was on that programme, I could focus more on the e-business. It's a bit odd that I have to be self-employed one day, and a normal job-seeker the next, when I go to the Job Centre, (like it is now, more or less), I think. Best regards, Erik Ribsskog PS. I also send a copy e-mail to EFTA, since I'm from Norway. And to the Jobcentre/DWP. Hope this is alright! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Ribsskog <eribsskog@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 11:04 AM Subject: Re: self employment To: Ralph Webster <ralph.webster@elect.org.uk> Hi, well, I don't know, maybe it was a mistake by the Jobcentre, to call my business, a 'hobby'. That seems a bit strange to me now. Maybe I should really be on income support, when I have a business like this? Thanks for the files! What's the agenda for the next meeting again, I was wondering, if it's ok to ask.

Unfortunately, i do not know of any funding available to you at this present time and I can’t see anything happening in the short term either. With regards to a self-employed programme with the Job Centre, I think you must be alluding to the New Enterprise Allowance Scheme but the mere fact that you are with Ingeus tells me that you are not eligible for that scheme. See you on the 24th Ralph From: Erik Ribsskog [mailto:eribsskog@gmail.com] Sent: 10 April 2012 16:33 To: Ralph Webster Subject: Re: self employment Hi, thanks for the e-mail! I couldn't see any attachments, but the website is quite high ranked with Google, I think, so that's ok I guess. I was at a programme with Sencia, some time back, and they started talking about founds for marketing, but the web-shop wasn't that good then, so I didn't want to market it already, at the beginning of last year. So I think that was why I asked Ingeus about self-employed-programme, to check if there was similar founding-opertunities, for marketing, as Sencia mentioned. Also I was wondering if I should be on a programme for self-employed people, with the Job-centre. Since I've been working with this web-shop since the automn of 2010, I think it was, that is before I started to go to Ingeus, on the Work Programme. So that might have been the reason for me being sent to Elect, because I asked Ingeus about the things mentioned above. But I'll be there for the meeting, the week after next. When it comes to the expenses, then the reason it isn't a profit for the web-shops, is that some of the costs are fixed, some are to do with samples for pictures, which I'd say is marketing, and some costs are like start-up-costs, since I've had to move between Liverpool and Sunderland, a couple of times, in the last months, due to Landlord-complaint-cases, etc. But before the next meeting, I thought I could set up book-keeping, for each delivery, so to show the profit-margin better. Just something I thought about after the meeting today. Hope this is alright!
