Hello everyone and happy New Year! I have finally landed with suitcases and cat and a small small heart full of fear and hope and ready to get this going in the mighty and confusing british capital. Ideally i would like to work as a freelance illustrator and at the moment i‘m working towards that as well as applying to jobs and sending portfolio to agencies and such.

What i would like to know is if any of you are working as freelancers here (btw, big shoutout and let's meet for some lifedrawing or something if you want to) and if you can help me with some insights into the whole legal aspects of that position. Do i have to register as a sole trader and that allows me to do freelance work as well as make my own invoices and also sell prints online? Do i need an accountant? Do you know and recommend any resources that i can consult in setting this thing up?

Thank you. Any comments, suggestions, concerns are welcome
