Startup costs are typically around £300 to £2,000, depending on software, security and equipment. Monthly revenue is typically estimated around £800 to £4,000, depending on project size and how many regular clients you have. Large one-off projects can make income uneven.

Check your ICO registration and UK GDPR duties, especially if you share client data with helpers. Use written contracts with clients and freelancers, including confidentiality terms, and check whether professional indemnity and cyber insurance suit your work.

Check the employment status of helpers, as self-employed contractors and employees are treated differently. Use written contracts with confidentiality terms, and avoid sharing sensitive files by ordinary email. Estimates suggest at least around 15 hours a week.
