One Man Operation

Would like opinions on whether i should try and go on my own and run a one plumbing shop. Honestly, would there be that much more money in it? And if so would starting out doing work for home warranty companies be a good venture ?

Not from my experience. Too many rules to follow, too hard to get paid, and they basically tell you what they pay.

Re: One Man Operation

Thanks for the feedback. From most of the contractors ive talked to that seems to be the census on warranty work. I also thought about subing from home depot and lowes but again they tell you how much.
