After some advice here, been dragging my heels making a decision, but the time has come.
Currently I am self employed working for a company on a continual basis, they are happy with me and I am happy there. The money isn't great for self employed, but I'm confident I could ask for something more reasonable and be given it.
However, I've been considering starting my own company with a friend, but I keep having doubts. He has got a contract waiting for us, which will fill up most of the week and bring in close to what I earn now, plus has alot of contacts. So we would definately have plenty of work. However, I think I would be doing most of the work, as he doesn't test or do the technical stuff which our main contract will consist of. I would also be dealing with the NIC and could see myself dealing with invoices, customers etc. If this work was for myself only I would do it and be happy, but would you guys go into it with someone else who won't be too much help other than bringing in the work?
If I don't take this chance now I may not ever have another, and I haven't got too much to loose as I'm self employed and have most of my tools, van etc already. In my shoes, would you be willing to pick up most of the slack for your chance to run your own business?
