Hi, I’m applying for the DTV visa as a freelance business analyst and have just started working independently.
I’ve set up a professional website and created a brand name to present my services more professionally. However, I’m not yet registered as a business, and my income is currently below the £1,000 turnover threshold for self-employment registration.
For my initial invoices, should I issue them under my personal name, or should I include *both my name and my brand name*?
I’m concerned that using only the brand name might *prompt requests for business registration documents*, which I don’t yet have.
My goal is to ensure the visa process goes smoothly, will it open a can of worms adding my brand name on the invoice or is this something that is recommended since I'll be sending screenshots of my website.
Thanks in advance
