Pages from the Electrician Startup Guide.
Going self-employed as an electrician means defining the work you are competent to carry out, arranging suitable insurance and deciding how notifiable work will use either an authorised competent person scheme or Building Control. Scheme membership is voluntary; it is not a licence to trade. This guide covers business setup with HMRC, pricing, materials, subcontractors, electrical paperwork boundaries and a practical first-90-days checklist.
Explains competence, insurance, Part P boundaries, voluntary scheme options and the Building Control alternative
Includes a first-90-days checklist so you know exactly what to do — and in what order — before you take on your first customer
Written specifically for electricians, not generic small-business advice that ignores trade-specific requirements
