All the best in the new venture.

What research have you done already buddy?
Have you done any local research and found going prices or techniques etc.

Out of curiosity though, what was you doing for work before? Or is it first venture?

I would set a goal of £200 an hour then work out what you have to do to make it a reality.

Or set a goal of £45 an hour.

Which ever you choose will determine you earnings but with £45 you will never earn more..., but with £200 even if you only hit halfway you still earned more than achieving the £45 goal

I don't know your background but the biggest mistake I see made by people starting out is being  too cheap

[Simon Campbell]

Yeah pricing really depends on your own circumstance,  some people are happy earning £15 an hour some like to earn  £100 an hour. Factor in your overheads plus whatever your bills  and you should find what you a) need to earn and then this leads onto b) what your would like to earn.

Absolutely agreed with Mike, cheap is a great way to get business but this will never leave you so over time as you upgrade your equipment the customer won't care and will want it doing for the same price so if your not comfortable charging too much whatever you do don't go in too cheap!!

In addition to finding your ideal pricing strategy, dont be afraid to be cheecky with it. Ie offer discounts which gets your foot in the door and then sell up.
If i know its going to be a pricey job, i give customer choice of me just cleaning snd prepping area, followed by a seperate price for me to come bk and resand unless they eish to resand themselves.
In addition sell up, if doing s drive let them know you can sort back garden out as well or the rendered wall etc etc
Also dont be afraid of proactively looking and getting work.
The odd times ive popped to a local pub after a days work. Ive asked them direct if theyve considered having outside cleaned and left a quote etc
