As I'm going through doing the difficult design and planning bit the question has dawned on me as to which category we will fit in. On a purpose built pair, the motor will house my workshop and therefore I'm assuming it will come under Commercial heading for BSS. The butty will house us... so does this need to come under commercial (as the whole entity will effectively be "commercial" since the one don't go without the other) or would it be Private? Seeing as how we're planning interconnections between the two boats for leccy from generator, water tank transfer etc, is this going to make a difference? OR... will the whole thing come under "Commercial" at all since it's just us on it and we will simply be running our small business from it?

Firstly this is my first post in the community so hey! I am a recent graphic design graduate along with my girlfriend. After spending some time finding work that suites us both we decided to give a start up studio a go. One decision lead to another and we found our selves looking at Narrow boats. Assuming some how we can find the money through a loan or mortgage to get a Narrow boat, we were wondering if it would be practical to have a liveonboat that could double as a small design studio for us both. Not only does the lifestyle suite us down to a tee, but it could be a really nice, quirky way of setting up a new business (taking the 'studio' to potential new clients etc) which could be a great selling point. Obviously this raises lots of questions, -A wide boat would be best, however this limits our cruising -continuous vs marina -enough internet to keep us both online -would you need extra licensing? Ideally in the future we would love 2 boats, 1 designed as a studio and kitted out as such, and the other a live-on but obviously acquiring 1 boat straight out of uni is hard enough, never mind 2. If anyone has any advice on the idea, or Narrow boating in general it would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Alex
