[QUOTE="nlj, post: 631848, member: 17650"] Could you not start a marketing business alone? Going into business with someone else can have downsides , the main point about being self-employed is that you have the autonomy to run and develop the business as you want to and are not reliant on someone else or answerable to someone else. If you thought a business was viable to set up with a colleague, then it's viable for you to do alone. I worked as a teacher in schools for many years and then worked as a lecturer in a college for ten years. Following illness (a ruptured ectopic pregnancy) I felt unable to continue. The thought of not being employed was so scary, but I had often thought of becoming self-employed and it pushed me into doing it. I'm now a self-employed private maths tutor. I can work as much or as little as I like and have total control over my working life. There is huge demand for private maths tuition in the UK as our school education system is so poor. I would suggest that you could use these few months to research your possible customer base and other elements of running your own business. What will happen to the customers of your current employer when the company folds? It's frightening to become self-employed at first, but I would say "go for it", there are so many advantages.
