Hi guys, would love some advice if anybody out there can help?
Basically I have my own Limited Company of which I'm a Director.
There are no employees, just me and for the most part I work from home and the business has no capital or assets to speak of and I have no savings or assets myself apart from a very modest car.
Business has been very tough for a while and I have not been able to make any sales or pay myself anything at all now for about 3 months.
Would I be eligible to claim benefits in the meantime whilst I'm trying to get myself back on my feet?
As I rent my property I would be most interested in Housing Benefit I suppose as that would be the biggest helping hand for me right now.
Other options would be JSA of course, but would that be appropriate and again would I be eligible?
Any help or advice would be great.
Thanks very much.
