any advice or anyone done this...
im free weekends and tuesdays, i get asked to do jobs but normally go through the bloke i work for. Asx some of you know my wages are dire, fully qualifed nvq level 2, currently completing my level 3 so dont want to leave him until thats completed, he has giv e me his backing to work on the days as long as i dont give my cards out on the days im with him (fair enough)....
so how do i go about this, anyone done this ?
what are the tax implications ?
i have got some good qoutes for insurance
have own van and tools.
have business cards being designed by friend of family for mates rates - did try myself but want something more proffessional...
i can obviously offer everything apart from fuels, and unvented at present even though i know how to do all this i will be steering clear of this work until im qualified...
i know all about pricing and project management, as i do all this in my job currently, but the minimum wage im being paid isnt helping me and as i have 12 years experience in the building and construction trade i need to branch out a little on my own to top up my wages.... my agreement with my boss was to stay on min wage til level 3 qualified (part of the deal of him getting me through apprenticeship but that was 3 years ago) i am now fully experienced in heating, bathrooms, underfloor heating, powerflushing, general plumbing, kitchem fitting. and i am currently taking a course in renewables, so obviously i have to a lot to offer, and do get offered jobs but want to do it properly rather than as a foriegner or give him the money for work im generating...
anyone started up on there own alongside there job ? any experiences or advice welcome
cheers
