Hi to you and welcome

Just go for it
15 years means you know how to clean windows thats half the job done
go out and canvas for your own work there is loads of work available but dont undercut your previous employers work dont even go near it unless you are asked

get your own equipment and  just go for it
good luck

Hi Duff
I'm 25 miles away in Yeovil,  we also have a member in wellington just up the road from you.
Are you Trad or wfp?

First of all don't go pinching your boss's/Xboss's work that will go down like a  lead baloon. (unless his customers arn't happy with him, then its just fair game.)

If you have been going for 15 years then you will already know the ins and outs of gaining new customers.
What sort of advice are you after? theres loads of great guy's on here and there always willing to help.
