There are many good and bad points having your own business
Honest opinion tho the way this country is going down hill fast there is no way i would ever think about starting a business
If i could get a full time job right now on a half decent wage i would jump and shut my business down without a second thought
It isnt all its cracked up to be running your own business , dont get me wrong when the times are good its great but at the moment i am working 7 days a week 10 hours per day and if im totaly honest it just isnt worth it , infact i am on less than min wage
As Kev said , no paid holidays etc and if you have no money coming in you just watch how quick your back account emptys
having a wage coming in every week / month means you know where you are and what you can and cant afford
I have been on my own 8 years and to be honest the last 2 i could have made more working in burger king
Think very hard about it , IMO i would sit it out till next year as i think we are in for a very bumpy ride this year and by this time next year will give us all aome sort of idea if we are going to get better or worse
good luck
