Julian,

Very best of luck. I've been there in starting my own business, as have I know, a number of other forum members.....

Terrifying, yet exciting at the same time..... great being your own master though....

Hope it all goes exceedingly well for you....

Just a friendly observation but on first scan of your home page I can't see your location. I'm sure it's on your site somewhere but in my view location is one of the first things you look for. Like most folk I can't be arsed to look thro loads of text for it.

Although I don't know you (or indeed anyone really on the forum for that matter) I wish you great success. There is nothing like working for yourself, the rewards ( not just monetary, Id work for half the money for myself than doing the same job for somebody else) the freedom and excitment of it all, the only downside is once doing that you can never work for anybody else again and there is a tendency to become more defiant and more pig headed the longer you do it!- well maybe thats just me

I'll second that. I have worked for myself for 25 years apart from a brief flirt with a client. Office Politics, ooh, I shudder now to think of it. Now I've got my wife working for herself as well.
It's not always the best payer But you can say to people "Well that's the way I do it, like it or lump it"

Best of luck
