Hi Shelly, I am (unfortunately) ! I am in a very similar position to yourself. Agreed a verbal contract with BES without my husband's knowledge or agreement. He was a sole trader at the time, although he is now a limited company (and the only director) on the advice of his accountant.

Hi All ! I'm hoping you will be able to help and give me some advice please. My husband has recently opened up a new business. As part of the process I have been helping him as much as I can, even though we have 3 young children.
