What dertsap said,
You have too much to loose and he has everything to gain.
Get a small space & machine.
Work nights on his jobs (you can charge him more) I don't believe in giving stuff away.
It will set your prices too low, your not his friend he is your boss.
Your talking BUSINESS here not a hobby.
And it's easier to just start out and NOT take the work from him.
As already stated, if he is that busy and can't afford another machine something is wrong and you could be setting yourself up to get screwed.
I don't want to come off as negative but I have set up business with a few people and companies before and they always look at me stupid when I say the following:
While we are still friends here and talking let's sit down and put in writing how we get a divorce. aka. exit strategy.
Good luck with what you decide. |
