• Personal problems

At e-factor, we believe that by building people’s confidence and working together to break down these barriers, anyone can become successful. It doesn't matter what the problem is, e-factor are here to guide you and overcome any issues to help you reach your dream. You may be worried how starting a business or becoming self-employed will affect your benefits.

E-factor has a range of options to provide reassurance including our test-trading scheme, giving you a safety net to trade for up to 6 months whilst still in receipt of your benefits.

What is Test Trading?

Some times getting that first step on the enterprise ladder can seem just out of reach. You may have a brilliant idea and tempted to test the waters but unsure how it will affect you current and future finances. Test Trading is a groundbreaking initiative run by e-factor and the Department for Work and Pensions that allows individuals to start their own business whilst still in receipt of their benefit entitlement.
