Good idea or not?

[mark_goldfinch]

hello all.

boss at work is happy for me to use equipment for private work for a small fee. Its up to me how far I take it, What is there stopping me sticking an advert in my local paper and seeing what comes from it. obviously i would need to take out some public liability insurance. And if I get stuck with any thing i have the right people on hand to help me out. . how did you start things for yourselves?

Advise needed please.

i think you're taking the mick. letting you use his gear for little private obs you pick up here and there is one thing...advertising and competing for his customers is a whole other

[skyhuck]

Steve's right, there would very quickly be a conflict of interest.

Agreed

[big fell!]

That WILL go sour pretty quick i reckon... I agree with the previous

Sounds like he is being a right good man to work for,I would not do what you are sugesting.

Try asking him,see what he thinks,that way you get a first party answer.

not the sort of relationship that is likely to turn sour. his words not mine to stick an advert out in the paper, all our work is with local council so me looking for domestic stuff isnt going to create any conflict of interest.

If you did that to me,I'd sack you and then send you and invoice for using my Gear.
