Self-fulfilment - setting up a business from or alongside your job
The idea for a business start-up often arises from a person’s wish to realise their own concepts and ideas. Anyone who moves into self-employment as a previous employee opens up new opportunities, e.g. for greater decision-making freedom, more money, determining their own working hours and selecting staff. However, a start-up also comes with its own set of risks: responsibility for all business decisions, periods of no income, a lot of work at the expense of free time. Perhaps you don’t want to give up all that security all at once and would rather just “try out” self-employment? If that’s the case, setting up a sideline alongside your job might suit you.
