Risk: Moderate

I’d rate the risk a 2 out of 5 because starting a side hustle as a glazier involves several potential risks. Someone could lose money on tools, materials, and training if they are not already skilled. Time and energy are also significant investments, as learning the trade and building a client base can be demanding. Confidence might be affected if initial projects do not go well or if there is difficulty in finding clients. Many beginners might spend money on equipment and not see a return if they cannot secure enough work. Startup costs like tools and materials might not pay off if the business does not take off. Online, some people report challenges in finding consistent work or underestimating the costs involved, leading to financial losses.
