HI mark
i have been building my business up over the last two years when i was in full work time as well, this gave me time to build up clients and machinery etc for the business i have never advertised just word of month, most of my work is commercial .

I have been going about 8 weeks now and have been really suprised at how quickly it has taken off. I have been almost fully booked for the last 3 weeks. Probably as it was a good time of year to start
It is now 7 years since i started up my own business. Towards the end of my 1st year i had one person working for me and i had built up a reasonable amount of clients to keep us busy most of the year round. Most of our work now days is commercial however in my 1st year it was all residential. I found that postcard advertisements in shop windows was a good way of gaining residential work when i first started out.
You said it Simon - couldnt be a beter time to start! So many people come out of hibernation around Easter and think about 'getting their garden sorted', most established firms are booked solid with existing work(not helped by a plethera of Bank holidays!) and it's the time to jump in! Good luck Simon!
