Self Employment

Continuing with the theme of trends, let’s have a look at self-employment and the type of opportunities out there for those who want to go it alone.

With lack of job security, the high cost of housing, council tax and public transport, London is a very expensive place to live and these problems are not just limited to London or the UK. In addition, people are living longer and are often in good health until well past the usual retirement age. With a decrease in the number of younger people, governments are finding it difficult to cope with the demand for pensions, which is leaving many of the less well-off with no choice but to continue working till age 70 and beyond.

This in turn has led to increased interest in self-employment. If you have realised that your pension isn’t going to keep you in the style to which you aspire, you may be amongst those thinking of setting up your own business. More tomorrow . . .
