Joe, I have recently joined this website, due to what this topic is all about. I am a guy living in Sarasota, Fl where the work is all based on season. from May to late September/October, work slows down alot. I've decided to go out on my own, and try and run my own place. I feel that it's very hard to make a decent living here working for someone else, due to the whole flat rate trend. I say flat rate is good, if you live somewhere, where work is there throughout the whole year, but not in places where people vacation. I've worked for shops where I'd be there for over 40 hours, yet not make that pay due to the flat rate deal. It's just frustrating to work for people who make salary because they are management, and the techs make nada. Anyways that's my rant, on a side note, I could use some help from anyone willing to give me advise on the whole starting the business aspect, haha I can tell you now, I have only a business name, and a couple locations for a shop, I need more advise on the administration aspect. any help would be greating appricated, Thanks!
