    Going self employed!

    I am a stone fitter and tiler with nearly 8 yrs experience. I feel it is now time to go it alone. Can anyone advise me on whether it is necessary to have a formal qualification or would I be wasting my money. I already have my CSCS card from my current employer. Many thanks
