in General accounting discussion
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!

    Finding Professional Cover

    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!

    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?
