Useful sources

There’s a bewildering array of websites and advice around these areas, particularly with regard to the legal issues. I’ve found the following to be useful and comprehensive, likely to be most up-to-date – and not trying to sell their services to you! If you can’t immediately see the information you’re looking for simply enter the relevant word(s) in the search field.

While these websites cover much of the information you’ll need, I would recommend seeking professional help with complex issues and questions. Please note – these links apply to the UK only – if you live elsewhere, please check for correct information on what the law requires in your country.
