Hi all, I've been wanting to start up on my own for a few years now, but with the recession, mortgage, partner and child have'nt been able to make the jump. I'm 27 and have been working on the tools since i was 17. I currently work cards in with a relatively small company that consists of 3 sparks and an apprentice (that includes the gaffer) we cover a good range of work for a small company from small extensions, kitchens etc to school work and installing factory production lines.
To cut to the chase I want to start up on my own on the side working weekends/evenings etc hoping to gradually start to get the work where I feel I can carry on on my own. I intend to go down the correct route with insurance,van, NIC/elecsa registration etc
I'd just like to ask the opinion of any gaffers out there how they would feel if one of there lads wanted to do this? I'm going to be totally upfront with my boss, sit him down and explain to him my intentions and reassure him that I'm not trying to steal his work/contacts and that he'd still be my priority, any thoughts or comments would be greatly received thanks
