[QUOTE="Lillpete, post: 71457, member: 2140"] I am in the process of sorting myself out to go self employed and am looking for guidance. I know that the current climate is not the best to be launching a new business into however I am currently earning such a low wage I feel I haven't got much to lose. I have been an electrician for around three years after retraining (yes it was a fast track course but I have been an a steep learning curve ever since). I have now been offered semi regular work from a couple of familly members which, although nowhere near enough to live on by itself has spurred me on to give it a go. I've been looking into various scheme providers (notably BSi and NIC) and know I will need public liability insurance but was wondering where people tend to get the best rates for this and if there is any other insurances I should look at?? Are there any guys on here who have gone self employed only to not get enough work and end up going back on the books?? Any guidance and advice would be gratefully recieved. Cheers ;) [/QUOTE]
