New to Trees!

Well i'd say your pretty bright, just because you came here to seek advice, so that you puts you above all others to start with

 

Good luck in your search, my only other advice is try to get a few trials with different outfits if possible, you should be able to get a good idea on who will suit.

 

Also will you look to go on the books? I know when I started it was more tempting for outfits to use me because I worked as a self employed labourer/groundie/guy with saw. I know it can feel less secure as a labourer but I don't think you should have to much problems finding work this way.

 

Another benefit of being self employed is you WILL earn more, you can claim tax on everything you buy and your NI will be virtually nothing. meaning less reductions.

 

There are pro's and con's to being p.a.y.e or self employed.

If you need advice on the self-employed route just ask here.

 

 

Again good luck mate.

Good luck again Marx is spot on go self employed tree companies love them easier to employ than paye.
