Hi Jafar, I'd love to see content focused specifically on servicing UK sole traders and micro-businesses (like barbers, self-employed nurses, and tradespeople). Specifically: 1. Client Onboarding & Compliance: A step-by-step walk-through on setting up AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance, Letters of Engagement, and registering as a bookkeeper in the UK. 2. Niche Bookkeeping Tutorials: Practical workflows for cash-heavy sole traders (barbers, beauticians) vs. agency workers/nurses (tracking mileage, uniform allowances, and mixed income). 3. Making Tax Digital (MTD) & Software Setups: How to set up simple cloud software (Xero, Quickbooks, FreeAgent) for small clients and prepare them for MTD for ITSA. 4. Pricing & Client Acquisition: How to structure monthly retainers for sole traders and land your first 3–5 clients from scratch.
🏠 What If Your Next Business Only Needed a Laptop?
A lot of people think starting a business means: ❌ Renting premises ❌ Buying stock ❌ Employing staff ❌ Investing thousands upfront ❌ Taking a huge financial risk A bookkeeping business can be very different. You can start from your own home, with relatively low overheads, and build it one client at a time. Think about it: 💻 3 clients × £200/month = £600/month 💻 5 clients × £200/month = £1,000/month 💻 10 clients × £200/month = £2,000/month 💻 15 clients × £200/month = £3,000/month And because bookkeeping is generally a recurring service, a client you win today could potentially be paying you every month. You don’t need to leave your job tomorrow. You could start small. Learn → practise → get your first client → build from there. Your first goal doesn’t need to be £5,000 a month. Your first goal could simply be: 🎯 Get ONE paying bookkeeping client. Once you’ve proved to yourself that you can get one, getting the second suddenly feels much more achievable. So here’s today’s question: 👇 What’s stopping you from starting? A) I don’t know enough bookkeeping yet B) I wouldn’t know how to find clients C) I don’t feel confident enough D) I’m ready — I just need a plan Comment A, B, C or D below. Your answers will help me decide what training I create for you next.

A) the knowledge and the systems needed. I've got many friends who are barbers and self employed nurses that are wanting the service, but i'm just not ready yet. For example what do i need from them from the start ?What do they need from me from the start? What software to use to have all my clients in one place? With your help, i will get there !
