Whether it would be permissible to start your own business in competition with a former employer following redundancy really depends on whether there are non-solicit or non-compete clauses in your employment contract. If you are in a type of business where you are likely to poach or deal with employees or clients of your former employer, you should be very careful. Otherwise you could breach your employment contract or compromise agreement (if such clauses were inserted).

Employees should take due care not to breach these provisions, which are typically limited to 2/3 months, before setting up in competition.
