Permission

Can you start a business while working full time?

Many people do, and it can be a gentle way to begin. Whether you may is written in your contract, a staff code, or the rules of a profession. We will not guess at that for you.

If you are unsure, the kind next step is a solicitor, or the process your employer has already written down. Bring us the answer when you have it: allowed, allowed with limits, or not for now. We will meet you there without pressure.

Where it is allowed, we will help you shape an offer that does not need you on calls at your desk. Where it is not, we stop. A stop is a care for your job, not a disappointment.

This page is general information. It is not a reading of your clause, and it is not advice. You can begin with the Launch Plan, £295, with our team. Seven days to change your mind before we meet, refunded in full. Continue within 14 days and the £295 is credited toward the £1,895 total. Extra income is the hope, not a promise.

Your paperwork, your adviser

Employers can ask for consent, and some roles are tighter than others. ACAS publishes general guidance. It will not interpret your document. We will not either.

Regulated work, handled with care

Health, law and financial roles can have their own rules about outside work. Those rules sit above anything we might build. If they apply to you, please check them first.

We develop the idea, the strategy and the website. Begin with a Launch Plan — £295 — from an idea, a skill, an interest, or none.

If the answer is yes

Permission is not the same as spare energy. We will shape something quiet enough to live beside the job you already do well.

If you need a solicitor first

Do that first. We will be here when you know the limit. We will not draft a consent email or negotiate with your employer.

Who this is for

  • Employees wondering whether they can start while they stay in the job
  • People in coded or regulated roles who want the limit clear before any build

What this means for you

A warm look at a second activity you are free to sell, and a build only where that freedom is already clear. Not legal advice.

Common questions

Is it allowed to start a business while employed in the UK?

It depends on your contract, any staff code, and any professional rules. This page cannot tell you. A solicitor or your written policy can. We help with the offer once you know.

Will you review my employment contract?

No. We are not solicitors. Tell us the limit once you know it, and we will design within it or leave it.
