Going Self Employed

Hi all hoping for some advice. My partner and myself are setting up a wedding car business. My partner has been on ESA for the past two years and he has just come off this in the last week to start this business.
We are renting the car from a car hire firm at the cost of £60 a week for the first year. We then have the option of buying the car over three years at the cost of £80 a week. Its a mercedes S500 which is a luxury style car suitable for weddings.
We need to know where to go next. At the moment we have child tax credit, child benefit, carers allowance, DLA for my two disabled children and H/B and C/T coming in.We are a family of 7.
How do i tell them of changes and how do i prove what we have coming in ... we expect to only make £2000 max in our first year if anything. We are using money we have coming in from the benefits to fund the business eh the car, advertising and the website cost each month. Obviously unless we get bookings we only have the benefits to rely on, so we are putting every effort into this.
How to i do the tax returns and and tax codes etc.
This all seemed so simple when we were talking to people and they were telling us to go for it, but in reality its a mine field and i value any advice please :)
