Hello,

Just a quick question, I'm a PAYE worker who has started a limited company within the past few months.

The business is not trading yet, will not be for the next 2-3 months.

My intention was to keep working full time while working on the business.

It now seems as though my paid employment may end in the next month.

My question is whether being a company owner/director precludes me from being eligible for Job Seekers Benefit (I would otherwise be eligible).

Hopefully I will be able to find alternate employment in the meantime but if not I'd be keen to know if this is a possibility.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
