I will receive £200k from inheritance in the next few months. I am wondering what business I could start up with this kind of money, any ideas or advice would be welcome.
The tarrifs are steep. 150% import tax for one among a lot of other taxes and expenses. I have an Indian partner who is doing all the numbers and legality side. So it all depends on what price i can source whisky in bulk.
I'd like to export to India but not sure where to start. Would I contact distilleries directly to get prices or what's the best way to get the cheapest wholesale prices?
I noticed a converted horse box operating as a coffee station around a popular tourist area and it got me thinking. I was interesting in the idea of selling food or drink on the street and was wondering if the traders license will be the biggest hurdle. Any other tips welcomed.
Why did you stop with removals if you did?
Would you advertise yourself as light removals, how would you describe that, in terms of cubic feet I suppose, the last thing you want is to come across as a cowboy.
Yeh I remember about operators licenses now, quite a task to get one also.
So is this project viable for under 7.5 tonnes, there seem to be loads of competition, I'd likely get a small job here and there but nothing regular etc.
Could you do this with a transit, I guess the answer Is...
I was thinking of trying removals and the first major questions is where to park a box truck.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions, I assume you can't park certain sizes say 7.5 tonnes on a residential street such as mine?
Any tips on market research, would I have to have offers on the table, how would I go about detailing that. X amount of companies in the area did X amount of work and it's estimated that there's a shortage or saturation of workers in the market etc?
How to you find this data or approximate it?
Hi
I'm looking to start a business, tree surgery, logging, general land care/dogs body etc.
So I'm looking for a loan, mainly for a trailer I would need, ideally a pickup or tipper also but I could get by with a trailer to start.
I have most of the other gear.
Work wise I have nothing...
Reasonably affluent. I'm pretty good at most things handy, I helped build a house, have laid slabs, I'm good at car mechanics but I don't have any depth of experience at anything.
I kind of throwing terms around, I'm not 100% sure what a groundworker does. We are looking for ideas at the moment. Is there an area we can learn on the job without being cowboys so to speak?
Hello
We are 2 fit and healthy guys living in a town of around 80000 and are trying to decide what business we can start. We are looking at areas such as scaffolding, groundwork, roofing etc.
Would you have any advice on what's realistic for relatively unskilled workers, i.e we have no college...
