Running a business

Your work can be more varied, as you may be working on several different projects for different clients at any one time.
You can explore your creative and entrepreneurial side as you build your own business.
You can deduct certain costs - travel and some utilities bills, for example - from your income when you’re calculating your tax liability.
You may have the potential to earn more money, as day rates for self-employed consultants and freelancers tend to be much higher than salaries.
You Maybe able to avoid a commute to a place of work, as maybe able to work from home, or from your own business premises.
