timmo66 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 How do you go from being employed full time to having enough work to go self employed? I do my own jobs out of work like everyone does, and circumstances are leading me towards working for myself, but how do you make that jump?

sjsturner Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Unless bought in bulk! You need to be able to live on very little income for a year or so. You dont really want to borrow money to start it, you need to have a fair amount of knowledge and be good at paperwork. My mate went on his own and earnt 6k first year. Altho was living the dream on tax issues. As ox said little bit of money and some substantial work in place is best scenario Are you part p timmo? You could do fire alarms you know?
