  ???  hi i currently am a supervisor for a cleaning company where the majority of my work is window cleaning some office work and some commercial cleaning, i am considering starting out for myself, my brother who works with me will be joining me, any ideas how i should do this?????  i thought maybe go canvassing and start off cleaning on weekends and evening until i have enough work to give up my current job then my brother would follow in due course, i could only afford to start up using the traditional method then go to wfp when i give my job up.  any views would be much appreciated?????????????????? also i would have to go self employed not sure on how this works ie when do you have to pay taxxx?????????? ??? ???
