What's the best advertisement I could do?

Whistle is it worth it? Do you make a good turn over? I'm definitely going ahead with it and just want to put everything in place now so I don't fail. Hopefully I'll succeed, I have a lot of contacts who'd I could work for, It's exciting! Hopefully all goes well, I'll probably take on my mate, who will be a fully qualified sparky next year. So all needed for bare essential is obviously tools etc. I know all that but obviously insurance, back up of money incase all fails etc? Anything else

Any advice on how to start up? What bare essentials do I need?

Why limited instead of sole trader? Why limited instead of sole trader?

Hiya, I'm new to this forum so treat me gently. Believe it or not I'm actually an apprentice for a very big fire & security company in UK based all over. I'll be qualified in July and hopefully start a fire and security company mid to end of his year. I've worked in the industry for nearly 5 years doing mainly fire but have installed dozens of intruder, cctv and access control. I'm after some advice on how to start up? What do I need etc such as tools, van. What's the best way of getting customers to start off with? Ads on websites, leaflets around estates? I don't want to be messed around with or lead off the subject, I'd like some proper advice if possible. I am very eager and willing to commit myself to long days and wanting a successful business. For the moment I am going to run this business on a part time basis on an evening and weekends, just to see how I cope with it, whilst still having a daytime job. Do I register self employed whilst still working for another company? I have a logo all ready, company name will be TPE Fire & Security and have all literature and sales literature ready. I've seen forum on here which have been very successful like Wolf Fire & Security. They look great and I'd hopefully want to do something like that; start small, build big! Open to suggestions on how I should start?
