My wife works for a lady who has a shop. Although she is a nice lady, do not think she really knows what she's doing. I think she is a sole trader. From what I can tell, she needs to:

- Pay employer's NI on my wife's salary (there's no lower threshold for this is there?)
- Have employer's liability insurance
- Have public liability insurance for the shop
- Product liability insurance for the stuff she makes
- Tell HMRC she is a sole trader

.. anything else?

There's a lower limit as per [url= https://www.gov.uk/national-insurance-rates-letters/contribution-rates ]hmrc website[/url] c£156pw below which both pay zero percent class 1 nic.

Presumably there's some potential H&S issues toe boot if she is a shoe shop though sheel possibly not last long enough to bovver.
