    Hi All

    I was just wondering if anyone knew if couples were allowed apply for the back to work enterprise allowance. Me OH and I are contemplating going home and setting up our own business. Would we be allowed to apply for the back to work enterprise allowance together or could only one person in the relationship have it?

    When you say "going home" do you mean your living abroad at the moment? If so you need to be unemployed for a year before you can apply for it.

    Oh right sorry.I can't see why ye both couldn't apply individually but for the same business, but don't take my word for it I'm just guessing! Best of luck with it.

    Quick question does Jobbridge count as part of the qualifying period?
