Starting my own buisness ..any help or advice ?

[Andy_B]

Guys due to this economic crap going on i am going to be made redundant early-mid next year..I have been with my company for 20 years since i left school employed as a multi skilled engineer..so as i have loads of experience in electrical/plumbing and engineering ...i have decided to try a handyman service..Now ...i work a 4 on 6 off pattern so i would like to try it for 6-8 months on my days off to see if it would be a viable thing to plough some of my redundancy into ...i have done a basic flyer on the pc but its BASIC i would like it to be a bit more eye catching and professional...has anybody any experience on starting this kind of thing up ??
