Just wondered how many self employed people there are on PH? The other thread on tax burdens got me wondering.

I could tick three of your choices. I own a small business that employs me. I'm therefore a small business owner, self employed and employed full time.

A more appropriate selection would be "Do you own your own business?", "Are you a sole proprietor? or "Are you employed by someone else".

Yes, it could be better. I could tick two myself. I’ve edited the poll so more than one answer can be chosen.

To be fair, posting in the Business forum is likely to skew your results quite a bit.

Yeah sorry, but you have a very poor idea of how things work.

Erase thread/poll, start again.

Self-employed
Partner
Employee
Retired
Unemployed

I think that's everything.

Note that the powerfully-built PH company director of legend is but an employee (of his own company). But you could have a category for 'company director' to separate them from burger flippers on £10p/h.

I can assure you I do not. The poll could be better. Oh well. Not the end of the world!
