WOW!! Now that's what I call information...Thanks ErnieY. I'm going to open an e-Bond as well. I'll let you know how I get on once we've made the change of address.

I know by all the previous threads that Nationwide have not minded in the past if you change to an address in France. Has anyone done this recently? Is it still OK? We’re moving out in the spring and I really want to keep my account but I’ll no longer have a UK address. Many Thanks

Thanks to you both - That gives us some ball park figures to work with.

Thanks Claire Has this has any effect on your health insurance? I’m concerned we may have trouble getting insurance or our premiums will be greatly increased with a pre existing condition like this.

Hi Can anyone tell me what sort of costs we would be looking at for high blood pressure medication? We are relocating to dept 87 next spring and my Husband has been told he needs to go onto daily medication for high blood pressure (haven’t got it yet so don’t know which drugs). We hadn’t figured this type of medication cost or how this may affect our health insurance premiums into our budget…. Thanks

Mmmm… thanks for that. Things like this do indeed seem to be more difficult in France! We don’t have 3 years commercial experience so it would mean taking the exam which is not a problem but as you say will it be worth the investment. We don't want to set up kennels or anything on that scale but I’ll get a copy of the documentation form the prefecture to have a look at anyway. We were not looking at this as our sole source of income but neither do we want to break even or run at a loss….  Thanks very much for pointing us in the right direction – now for some more research!

Hi Tony, Thanks for that. We are in the south part of 87 so not too far from your friends. Do you know where they got their info from? I need to find out the extra rules and regs to do with animals as well as all the "normal" setting up a business side of things. I'm also interested to find out about insurance, what do other people have in place for when an animal gets sick and needs a trip to the vets? Are there different rules if you only have a couple of dogs at a time in your house to if you have a kennels type set up?

Hi We’re moving out on a permanent basis next year and are hoping to set up a dog sitting business, we would want this to involve having our furry guests at home with us as one of our family. Can anyone give me any advice on what type of business we would need to set up (from what I've read would it be a micro business?) and what sort of insurance would be needed with this type of venture - to cover possible animals medical expenses etc. Any help gratefully received!

Hi We’re moving out on a permanent basis next year and are hoping to set up a dog sitting business, this would involve having other peoples pets in our own home as one of our family. Can anyone give me any advice on what type of business we would need to set up and insurance that would go with this type of venture.   I’ve done some searching through past links and can see posts asking if anyone can recommend kennels or pet sitters but nothing so far on setting it up.   Any help gratefully received!   Thanks
