Setting up as a self-employed instructor

Hey folks, I'm looking at the feasibility in the next couple of years of instructing in my local area (UK based), but as there are no schools nearby I'd need to be self employed and presumably I'd register as a DTO. Does anyone have experience of doing this, who would be able to share their experiences? Specifically, keen to understand what challenges you faced from both a commercial perspective (i.e. what sort of salary you were able to generate for yourself), how feasible it was, and in terms of regulatory constraints/requirements whether this was overly burdensome.

(Obviously this could vary widely depending on the available market in the area, ability to run a business and whatnot so assume there is a market locally and I know what I'm doing from a business perspective.)

Thanks in advance!
