Be careful about spending a lot of money setting yourself up it its rarely cost effective
I was a teacher for 30 years and needed a change so took my pension at 50 and started doing general building work --Id done some of it in my spare time previously --got business cards, flyers,etc but none of it ever got me any work!
Ive got a lot of friend and associates in building they all say advertising is a waste of money( look in your yellow pages how many ads there are for builders)
Start off by letting everyone you know that you you will be doing whatever it is and expect to build up slowly from recommends.If you are any good you wont be short of work for long . Expect at least 12 months to build up. Once I got past that point Ive never been without work.
I hope it works out for you
PS A good accountant IS cost effective
