When you run a side business, you earn extra – but generally not the majority – of your income from self-employment.

So what is it not?

- Working for someone else on a weekend as well as working a full-time job during the week
- Working overtime for your current employer
- Diversifying your current business to add a different offering

Starting a side business can often mean the difference between surviving from one payday to the next and having enough money to change your life for the better.
