IncomeMax was founded by Lee Healey in 2009.[1] Healey started a music events business and worked as a DJ at 18.[2] He worked for the Department of Welfare and Pensions (DWP) as a decision-maker at age 19 and worked in that position from 1993 to 1997.[3] Heeley worked as a benefits adviser for the Disablement Association of Barking & Dagenham (DABD) until 2001.[4] He worked as a benefits adviser trainer for a time before going back to the DABD.[5] His second stint with the charity ended in 2009 when he decided to start his own company.[6] He earned a certificate in Money Advice Practice from Staffordshire University.[7]
