Back to questions

me and my partner live in the uk and run a little mobile food business / coffee shop. we would like to operate this in the private and have gained some understanding of how this could be done from Greg addressing this breifly in the past, saying a notice on the van stating that this van and all the property within is property of i: a woman etc. The thing that has had me flummoxed are the contracts with the card machine payment processors, all which state that by using their services i agree that I am either self employed or a limited company and using this for commerce. There is also the insurances involved, both on the vehicle itself and then also public liability insurance that is required to work practically anywhere. From the private life blueprint you shared the work agreements between a man and a entity / organisation and I am wondering if I could use a similar agreement, between my ‘ens legis’ ALL CAPS/ESTATE and the entity i set up to receive hold the bank account and receive the money, thereby contracting between the two. ALL CAPS would hold the insurances and the card machine contract and any other public necessity in a kind of managerial role, but none of the money would belong to the ALL CAPS as it would all go directly into the entity held bank account which would then have a agreement or statement in the articles of association or in the trust deed, that any money held in here is property of i: a woman. Then i could declare as you suggest that no taxable income has been received/earned by ALL CAPS and no tax return is to be submitted. That way I can contract with the landowners where I trade, hold the necessary insurances and payment processors, keep a sort of public front face, but have it all private behind that. Or am i missing something major here? Am I making it too complex? Is there a much simpler way? I am 5 years down the line and have STILL not made the move into the private and I have kind of accepted the fact that the internal journey I am on has to take place and unfold. I will be attending the bootcamp on sunday but not saturday.
