So you want a drone job ...and what is wrong with that?  Well, nothing. Here is a fairly common scenario. Pilot Pete has done the training and has a shiny set of drone wings that will let him take on the skies as an RPA or drone pilot. Excellent, because his Uncle Joe will pay him to photograph the golf course he manages and a friend of a friend wants him to do some real estate photography. Life is good. Except one thing is missing. Pete is now running a business and the business of business is to remain afloat (if you don't know what trading insolvent means then keep reading), work within the rules and regulations, pay its taxes, provide the service that is advertised and keep records of all financial activities for tax, accounting and auditing purposes. Pete is also in a regulated industry so he will have a stack of things to keep on top of with regard to the local aviation regulations. If he want's real contracts and decent ongoing work, he will need these things. As you begin your RPA or drone licence pathway, have you also thought about what it takes to run your business?
