Hello, i am currently having a trial period at a new job (independant TVR specialists)
Today me and the owner had a chat with regards how i was doing, how he thought i was doing etc and he asked me if i would consider going self employed, he said he would write a contract guaranteeing me 40 hours a week, a notice period, and would take my hourly rate and up it to cover 4 weeks holiday so i would be getting holiday pay (sort of)
However i have no idea how being self employed would effect me? I have a mortgage now but not sure how it would change that?
Basically i need to know the Pros and Cons of being self employed.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mark
