Professional cover - north east

[red_devil]

I am looking to start as a self-employed MIP but have no idea how to find someone to act as my professional cover (am I correct in thinking that this is AAT requirement before licence can be issued?).

I'm currently based in north-east, so would prefer to find someone in local area if poss.

Thnx

Hi Red Devil

Yes, it is a requirement to have professional cover in place before a MIP licence can be granted.

If you don't get any joy from here, then I would recommend going along to a branch meeting (these are listed somewhere on here) and asking there.

Sorry I can't help but the other end of the country - Norfolk.

Thnx for the advice Claudia. I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to just ask someone outright at a branch meeting, which is why I wanted to try this 'anonymous' route first!

You could ask the event organiser to announce your request at a local branch meeting.
Alternatively, you could try approaching a small local firm, who might be more willing to help you if they have the capacity to absorb the extra work if you are incapacitated.

Good luck!

Thnx Sheelagh. I just hoped that there would be an MIP on here who was local to me - maybe MIPs are thin on the ground up here in the north!

[red_devil]

sorry guys, but I just wanted this to get back to the top of the list! I'm getting a bit desperate here, as I want to submit my MIP application but can't without professional cover. Can anyone help?

RD where abouts are you up north? Your profile doesn't state the region your in.

Sorry Devillishbird - I'm near Newcastle (the Toon!).
