New Enterprise Allowance - Turn2ushttp://www.turn2us.org.uk//about_us/media_centre/news_archive/new_enterprise_allowance.aspxScheme to help long-term unemployed become self-employed to start in January http://www.immediacy.net/images/imm_logo.gifNew Enterprise Allowance - Turn2ushttp://www.turn2us.org.uk//14456Alterian CMCTue, 21 May 2013 06:52:16 GMTen-usTurn2us Reply - Turn2usxTurn2us can't advise you about the New Enterprise Allowance (NEA).

See the information about the New Enterprise Allowance on the Directgov website (link opens in a new window) for information about what this scheme should be offering you. It is conditional on Jobcentre Plus, or whoever administers the scheme where you live, agreeing that you have ‘a good business idea’, and then the support is offered on their terms.

We suggest you contact your local JobCentre Plus (link opens in a new window) to ask your questions. You could also use our Find an Adviser tool to find a local benefits adviser who might be able to provide you with more information about NEA.

if you have a simple business idea and a good head on your shoulders there is no reason why this can't work for anyone. yola are offering a free website and hosting for 12 months and google places is free to get your business seen online.

Ive been told that i cannot apply for working tax credits while on the nea allowance. I gt my housing paid for 6 months but do not gt the back to work bonus of £40 for the first year either. My mentor decided to leave my loan until after i signed off so had to wait 3 weeks to recieve. Not enough information was given. Mentor didnt have a clue. I was told how to put in my form for housing benifit at the last minute. Havnt gt a clue about tax and still dnt hav a business account, im using a current account ive recently opened. Your business has to be registered to open a business account. This info was lacking too. luckily ive been making personal sales previous to signing off so know my products would sell and are bringing in a fair amount. If i struggled with sales there would be no way i could survive on £64 week. More support needs to be given and the mentors and jb advisors need to be a little more educated in this department. I litterally sorted everything out myself with no help from either. Google is a wonderful thing.

You might have to contact the council after you sign off as both benefits are linked. Your income when you start making money won't be."  The website does not say anything about Council Tax Benefit.

Turn2us cannot advise you on the rules to do with the New Enterprise Allowance.  You should contact your local JobCentre Plus and ask an adviser to talk you through the scheme and how being on it might affect any benefits you are on.

See the Directgov information on the New Enterprise Allowance (link opens in a new window) for more details and links to your local JobCentre Plus office.

This feels more like top-up cash to an already existing set of assets or cash, which you are not allowed to have as a person on JSA!. This does not make any sense!.

Also they expect you to be making money steadily from first day, which very rarely happens in small business.

This scheme is only useful to people who can afford to go into business themselves anyway, without JSA or EAS.. It can't realistically be used by the people who it's aimed at.]]>http://www.turn2us.org.uk//about_us/media_centre/news_archive/new_enterprise_allowance/re_new_enterprise_allowanc-13.aspxMon, 12 Mar 2012 16:38:44 GMThttp://www.turn2us.org.uk//default.aspx?page=19848Turn2us Reply - Turn2usReply to query about New Enterprise Allowance on the Turn2us news archiveTurn2us cannot advise you on the rules to do with the New Enterprise Allowance.  You should contact your local JobCentre Plus and ask an adviser to talk you through the scheme.

Please note this is a scheme for people who are on Jobseeker's Allowance who have a business idea.  It is not a scheme that provides unemployed people with work placements.

If I try this for 6 months, but it fails... can I pull out?
If i have no money coming in, or don't get paid, I can't live on £33... a week. That presupposes some money is coming in to live off.

So what are the rules regarding getting out of the scheme? I can't find that amongst all the "wooly fluffy" language on the government website. Thanks in advance for helping.]]>http://www.turn2us.org.uk//about_us/media_centre/news_archive/new_enterprise_allowance/re_new_enterprise_allowanc-12.aspxTue, 06 Mar 2012 10:50:25 GMThttp://www.turn2us.org.uk//default.aspx?page=19797Turn2us Reply - Turn2usResponse to comment about the New Enterprise AllowanceWe suggest you get advice from an organisation like Business Link (link opens in a new window) or look at the information on the Small Business website (link opens in a new window). 

There may be loans that you can apply for to help you while you are setting up your business. Or your bank may offer a business start up loan.
