I say go for it. Many of us on here didn't start our working lives as kitchen fitters. It does have it's highs and lows and is a demanding job when you are designing and installing. It is really worth it when your customers are really happy and you have created that new environment for them.

Thanks for advice. I have tried to answer the questions, more as answers to myself.
Where will you find your customers?
FB advertising & organic google results ( I have free expert advice available in this field), standing in the Market, council planning applications etc
Where will you source the products?
Crown Kitchen, local manufacturers in West London, TKC etc.
Who will fit it?
A hired fitter. I am going to be helper during the process.
Many with the skills and showroom go belly up.
They have fixed expenses.
I have zero running cost. Website expense £5 per month, some stationery and laptop with software.
Start from learning the design.
I’ll master it first before hitting the market.
Get a job as a designer.
Preferably, yes.
But Nobody want to give a chance to a newbie. I’ll try again.
Software cost.
I’ll sell it on eBay in case things don’t work out as planned. I can take risk with the cost. Laptop 1500+1000 software
If I’ll be a decent designer
Yes
A good fitter
Maybe
A good salesman
Maybe
