Advice on self employment please

System

I am seriously considering taking on small organisations accounts such as pre-schools, clubs & pubs etc, with the long term aim to become wholly self-employed once I'm fully qualified, (hopefully after June-fingers crossed).<BR>I have the confidence and ability to take this on but my biggest obstacle is getting started.<BR>How much do I charge? What's the going rate (I live in Norfolk)? Do I charge hourly or on completion of accounts?<BR>I'm also thinking of local advertising and a leaflet drop to market myself.<BR>If anyone who has or is in a similar position, your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>Sharon
