    Starting Out

    I have another business doing vehicle tracking units. I have an accountant, public liability. All I've asked if there theres another way to legally sign off work, because people are giving me a poor opinion of NIC, and my council are too slow to respond. I know how businesses in general work...

    Starting Out

    Im just looking for people with more experience. Great listening to how other people have failed and what they have successed in. Better to learn at others mistakes, than fail miserably myself

    Starting out!

    I don't want to be on a JIB rate anymore. Limiting my earnings. I want to go on my own. I know two local electricians that do well, one is just a one man band and the other has two other people working with him, he lives in a large house, nice holidays and he is only a domestic electrician. The...

    Starting out!

    Thing is, I want to be my own boss, as long as I get close to my salary plus a 10 year old van, I'm happy. Sick of working away all the time. I do make good money working away, extremely good for my age. But I don't have any time, when I do, it's food shopping and having boring days out with the...

    Starting out!

    I know a few sparks on their own are earning between £20-30 on their own now. They happily take me on but only for normal JIB rate, which is same I'm on so it's pointless.  Seen a lot of job advertised online for £20-25 but it's in London and I accused it's without digs. A lot of work, within...

    Starting out!

    I have money put away, I know at least the first 18 months will be difficult, but I have a lot of experience over the last 5 years. I have a 14 plate Nissan navara currently, basically looking to cut all my outgoings to try making my business a success. It's either get lower paid hourly rate...

    Starting out!

    This is why I've thought of 35 weeks. £16-18 would be good if I worked a lot of weekends. I've ran my own jobs, working on PLC panels

    Starting out!

    I'm hoping to start on my own soon. I've just come out of my apprenticeship last year, completed 2394/2395. On JIB rate, not 'approved' yet. Sick of hearing management saying the lads are getting charged out at £32+ an hour, double on Sundays and triple on bank holidays. Thus making a nice...
