A lot of hobby courses have spring up over the past few years making upholstery a fashionable and cool pastime, but can it also be a viable business you can run? Kerry is on the pulse of this quickly changing market and is able to give you the latest up to date insights into the sector.
I can recommend what to look for if you feel your skills need developing. There are a variety of courses available, but in my opinion, if you're going to run your own business, I'll share what I think you should spend time learning
The work life
Will you need to work 24/7 to get yourself established? What is the lifestyle like when you start and once you're established?
The income
I'll tell you what's realistic when you're starting out and what might be possible once you get more established
What you need to be prepared for
It is lovely working with beautiful fabrics and restoring pieces I love, but knowing the downside as well as the upside means you'll leave the call more informed and ready to know if this is something you want to explore more fully in a meeting.
