Working in a NON-Electrical company and DIS

[Jimmy Boy]

I have come across a stumbling block for the registration process, I am level 3 C&G qualified, have 17th, and 2392-10 level 2..Now I work for an internal maintenance company carrying out the electrical work, installation and repair, the company I work for is not an electrical company, but they want me to do electrical work in their dwellings, no problem I thought but reading the application details for nikky it seems I need to actually be a 'trader' or a 'Business' so I can go on their data base as approved, as well as having my own PLI and have being doing this work for over 12 Months, so do I just print some headers up and become a sole trader ? this seems the only option as I am planning to do my own notifiable work as well in my own time.

Can't the non electrical company register on a scheme?

Should be able to, especially if you are compentant to do the work, get them to register, and more importantly pay for it

They will pay for everything they have so far, but I am now thinking that perhaps I should register on my own as a sole trader, gives me options for private work if I ever need it
