Guys,
Just wondering, but how do you go about setting a Charge-out Rate?.
What do you have to take into account?.
Never really thought about this before, but I am looking at going out on my own.
Can you please help?.

Not quite sure what you mean by "charge-out" rate? Do you mean a basic hourly rate?

Hey there Trumpy,
Take into account the costs involved with a vehicile. ACC, Accountants, holidays at 3 weeks a year, 1 week sick, a Cellphone, replacement tools, TAX (b@st@rds) note 2nd year is a gutt wrencher. public liability insurance, thats all i can think of at the moment, cheers Craig

£35.00 for the call out plus £20.00 per hour or part thereof thereafter.

Hey, thanks Guys,
Truth be known, I am sick and tired of being an Electrician one minute and a Liney the next, they have different disciplines,
especially, with changing vehicles and tools.
The sooner I get out on my own, the better, I think.
I just feel like someone else's dog.
