Self employed Electrician set up query

Former Community Member

Hi guys 


I have been a qualified electrician for over 10 years working for others and now im trying to transision into to starting my own electrical installation / maintenance company. I'm a little confused as to what is required before I can legally work in other peoples properties.


I thought I needed 


1. Registration with governing body

2. Liabilty insurance 


I have been looking at becoming a member with the NiCEIC but the confusing part is they want to see my work to assess.


I dont understand How to do this if I need to be a member before I can work in other peoples property? 


I imagine it's really simple but not sure the best route to take 


Thanks in advance for any advice / guidance

    Hi Dennis thank you for getting back to me, the good advice and directing the post, which has now had some very useful responces. I have just worked out how to find the posts and reply so starting from the top. Have looked for funding but nothing come up as of yet however i will look into the your suggestions. I have had a nightmare trying to speak to NIC due to COVID but there is plenty for me to get on with in the meantime and hopefully they will be taking calls again soon. Thank again for your reply :)
