    Hey, I want to set up a cake business (from home) and want everything to be legit. I currently make novelty cakes for family and friends and have started to get a lot of enquiries for sales but I know I need to set up as a business first before I can sell

    What I need to know is, as I work full time, if I set up a business will I have to register as self employed?

    Also about health/hygiene standards, what certificates do I need?

    Any advice would really be appreciated!

    You need to contact your local Environmental Health Officer to arrange an inspection of your kitchen, to get your HSE Registration. You can register as a sole trader and still be working another job full time. You will also need to look into getting product liability insurance, and public liability also if you plan to do markets or have customers come into your home, etc.

    Try the Entrepreneur section of this site too for info and advice.
