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

    That's annoying - The rule book goes out the window when the pressure is and money is at risk as does health + safety iv noticed with some establishments!


    Thanks for the instght mate. I do feel I wont need the cards but at the same time would be a good safety net and flexibility for me. 


    Plan is to get up and running for now - as advised by previous posts and then explore my options.


    Just need to settle on company name which is not easy for indecisive me lol
