⚡ Are you stuck subcontracting… but know deep down you want to run your own electrical business?

In this video / podcast, I’m talking about how I went from being a subcontractor electrician to building my own successful electrical business — and why so many sparks eventually want more than just turning up on site for an hourly rate.

Subcontracting can be a great way to start out:

✅ good site experience

✅ regular hourly pay

✅ exposure to industrial, commercial and domestic work

✅ a chance to learn fast and build confidence

But the downside is:

❌ the work can stop overnight

❌ you’re relying on other companies

❌ you’re travelling, lodging out and chasing jobs

❌ you’re helping build someone else’s business instead of your own

In this episode I cover:

why subcontracting is a good stepping stone

what made me finally start up on my own

the mistakes I made at the beginning

why leaflets and lead sites weren’t the answer

how I started getting work through builders, carpenters and other trades

why word of mouth is everything when you run your own electrical business

how you can build your business gradually while still subcontracting

If you’re:

a subbie

an apprentice electrician

a newly qualified spark

or someone wanting to move from subcontractor to self-employed electrician

…this one should help.
