Any UK directors experience having their own production company?

[u/Superb-Eye4852]

I studied directing in uni and been working in post production but really wanna get back into directing. I’ve done a few branded content and videography gigs and for the past year been wanting to start my own video production company, hoping to do things I love and somehow direct as well.

Just wondering if anyone’s been in a similar situation? Seems to me having a business is more of a producer thing and I wanna somehow connect having a business and making money and being creative as well together.
