I'd say forget about getting "a job" and write your own apps, or do consultancy work where clients engage your company - not you.
Though I'd check about you being able to be a company director.
- joshvm 5y agoThe law is a little vague. It says that someone convicted of money laundering may be disqualified for acting as a company director (ish). I assume that would be part of sentencing, or it may be a decision made by Companies House (or whoever vets that). Certainly ex-prisoners can start business in general. A bigger issue may be things that require credit checks, like business loans, bank accounts, insurance, etc. Some good advice here: https://unlock.org.uk/advice/things-think-becoming-self-employed/ https://unlock.org.uk/advice/things-think-becoming-self-empl...
- opless 5y agoThat indeed is a good link. If you’re setting yourself up in a consultancy, you don’t usually need start up capital and hence no loans required. Bank accounts and insurance are a requirement however!
- throwaway301010 5y agoYou'd only be disbarred from being a company director if the court ordered it or if Companies House applied to the court to disbar you. Max 15 years disbarment.
