Why don't you do a little moonlighting on the side first? Just build up four or five clients before jumping in the deep-end. You are going to need to provide illustrations of how you helped clients move up the rankings before you catch any big fish.
Don't charge too much to start, I would suggest £20-£25 an hour is the max. Remember you have no overheads unlike the established firms.
There is plenty of opportunity in this marketplace for someone with a real
seo knowledge.
Go to google, hit on some popular commercial topics, then go to page 3 or 4, pick out some likely UK firms that are languishing for their key terms. Put together a list of 20-30 firms and get on the phone.
