Having just started your apprenticeship, this is not something you want to be worrying about just yet. You'll want to be fully qualified and a good wodge of experience under your toolbelt before you consider starting your own business.

anything from -1000 a month when you got no customers yet but got to buy tools, pay the scams, insure your vehicle etc
up to £££ if you have a successful business going.

Minimum wage. My company makes a tidy profit though.

Being a great electrician and being a successful business man are two completely different things. I know a lot of very competent tradesmen who have gone bankrupt trying to run their own business and I've also seen guys who are electrically completely clueless make an absolute fortune being self employed and retire at 35 when TBH I wouldn't have employed them even as an electricians mate, never mind a full scope sparky.

If you want to be a good electrician then do the learning and get the relevant hands-on experience. If you want to be a good business man same again, study business and get business experience alongside others who are more experienced.
