Expected income self-employed

[chutley]

Aged 40, currently in military, so secure income , but sick of sandy places.

Considering setting up on my own, but interested if anyone is prepared to give an honest appraisal of what I can expect to earn annually. I know things are difficult at the moment, but ballpark figures would be good. I live in the midlands - Newark, Notts.

I have 2330 level 3, 2391, 17th, NVQ 3 and JIB Approved Card. I have all the meters/testers, tools & van (I motocross and use it as nmy daily transport!) insurance etc.

Any honest advice welcomed - PM me if you like.

Cheers

How longs a piece of string?

Minimum 20k per annum.
Realistically, 30k plus.

Get it right and theres no limit to what you can earn, although if your going solo theres only so many hours in the day

if you fancy working as an industrial spark, sub-contracting, you'd be doing something wrong if you couldn't take home 40k

advice, get a good accountant and set yourself up as a limited company, it could save you thousands of pounds every year.
