It can be quite daunting starting out for yourself. Quite a broad question you're asking, but the best thing for you to do is to trawl the forum for the answers you seek and if you can't find them then post a new thread.
Hi and welcome to the forum Greg.
Put together a portfolio of your work and your cards and go knock on every door that sells tiles.
Introduce yourself and your work, and ask if they’ve any displays they want changing or Tiling needed in the store. Quite often in tile shops they have multi tile floors to show their products and some change them regularly. Get to know them, build relationships.
Getting to know the folks at your local tile shops is a must mate, creating a Facebook business page is also good so you can put up pictures of your work, and put free ads on the local facebay sites every once in. A while to get your name seen and heard of. O now use joist app for quotes and invoices, it's easy to use look good and it's free.

Try and get some local info on them and get to know the local tilers and see what they know to see if they can get you a start up with another firm, albeit sub-contracting.
Hello and welcome, as mentioned above get out and get to know local tile shops and pop your cards in, and set up a Facebook business page is very helpful in getting your name out in the local area.
I’m sure ignore you have time to look on here you will find some threads covering this.
