Question

-how can my company start working as provider of translation and interpretation?

I have a registered company by the company house; my wife has a degree in languages from university of Algarve in Portugal. How can we start providing services for local authorities? How are payments made? How can we get certification stamp/notary stamp, de we need a solicitor?

Answer 1

If you are in the UK, contact your local business advice centre. If you are not sure who this is, there should be a listing in the phone directory.

Alternately, ask at your bank, because the business manager at your local branch will know about all the advice that is available free.

Start by searching for "small business advice" or "business start up advice".

Businesslink are one UK source run by the Government:

www.businesslink.gov.uk/

It's all common sense stuff really.

Answer 2

A case of contacting the local information / council / embassy I would imagine.
