| Go for it Tonio, if you're good at what you do you shouldn't have much trouble getting enough work in. You need to be able to market yourself or have someone to do it for you, it's not that hard though, there's so many incompetant muppets out there and it's easy to get work by just being competent and organised. I've been self employed the last couple of years (though not in IT), I've never worked so hard or so many hours, but I wouldn't go back unless I had to, no way!
As to being VAT registered, look into the flat rate scheme, you get to claim your vat back without complex paperwork etc, worked well for me for a while!
Good luck . . . . |
