Should I stay or should I go?

I have been in my current job as a travel advisor for 6 months. I work in a small web-based company consisting of just 3 members of staff. I say 3, but one has just left to go to University. I now do my own job, and hers... basically running the place as the boss is never here. I get paid �9,000 a year which is pathetic for my own job, but now I have taken on both roles I am finding it increasingly difficult. I have asked my boss for a pay rise twice and he just fobs me off with non-committal answers. He has now told me that he is relocating the business up north in a few months and making me redundant, offering no redundancy money. I am working myself into the ground with this job and really want to just walk out now. Should I do this before I have another job to go in to? I used to feel guilty about leaving the boss with no one to do the job, but now I'm past caring. Does it look bad for prospective employers if I am unemployed?

Thanks!
