Self Employment
Hi,
The things you have to consider are
1) your running costs. Although being a courier or whatever you choose may sound good due to the daily rate you can request or the company can offer, you still have to pay for the cost of breakdown, tyres, petrol and general maintenance work required for your vehicle.
2) If you are thinking of courier work, Many companies won't employ you with out public liability insurance and this can cost you a lot
3) Work isn't always consistent. Recognition is the key factor when it comes to your own business and sometimes it beneficial to know somebody who can find you work.
A bit of advice I will give you however is to possibly become a "man with a van" where you can offer all kinds of services like removals, house moving or whatever else you choose. just don't come to the midlands because that's my lateset project!!!
All the best either way
