yes, the license shows you as self employed and allows you to obtain a WP.
the employer is responsible for the work permit and each new employer must be showm.
better get your own to avoid blackmailing employers.
on no account start a company. it is expensive and unnecessary for a small business. the reporting is onerous too.
i will be following this procedure on wednesday.

If you open a general business company, and hv not register any business activity for 3 years, then they will force u to close ur company. That being said, nobody checks anything in this country, so you could probably get away for another few years.
