Dear colleagues,

I have happily worked as a freelance translator for 5+ years. Now, for different reasons, I *may* be considering setting up my own translation agency. Before doing so, I'd like to prepare and gather some relevant info that could help me make my choice.

I am writing to ask colleagues who have made the transition from freelancing to running their own translation agency if they may be willing to:

1. Get in touch with me with a private message at [email protected] to possibly have a quick informal chat, either via Skype or in person (if they are based in the Oxford/London area).

2. Share resources (articles, guidelines, tips) that could help me better understand the practical implications of this step (from an admin, bureaucratic, managerial point of view).

Thanks in advance to those who may be able and willing to help,
