Hi All

The day job looks like it may be going to disappear fairly soon, which has
got me thinking about the future.

Being 50+ I'd guess the job market isn't going to welcome me with open
arms.

Looking at what I'm good at and concentrating on my strengths lead me to
think of starting up as a handyman/property maintenance. I have the
knowledge, experience & equipment.

Quick Google seems to indicate that people are charging reasonable hourly
rates.

Anyone running a similar business who has any advice?

Dave


Initially don't spend money on advertising, the son of a friend set up
just over 2 years ago and has to turn jobs down, all has spread from
word of mouth. If you give value for money then I honestly don't think
jobs are hard to come by.
