Fair enough, if you have no transport at all then a van is definately the way to go. If you have fitted a few kitchens to a decent standard why not go on a tiling course and a kitchen fitting course then get some experience with pro's doing both? If you can tile the floor then fit the kitchen then tile the splashback you are going to earn more money and offer a service that a lot of customers prefer. It is very difficult to make money starting out with one trade these days. I think a wage of 25k might be difficult to achieve in your first 3 years. 25k is only 157 working days but the costs involved can very quickly eat most of your earnings especially as you are getting established and will need a lot of expensive tools that you might not necessarily have accounted for, even consumables can add up to quite a lot of money over the course of a year. not trying to rain on your parade, but it is easy to spend as much as you earn in the first few years
