Would like to start a photo copier business reselling the likes of Cannon, Xerox etc. What are your thoughts?
Initially I will be starting off as a one man band.
Thanks :)
I’m trying to raise awareness and allow people to help themselves in the best way possible and I know it’s not a substitute for professional help but a few techniques here and there can make a massive difference!
I’ve had another idea which may make more sense in a number of ways. I could self publish and go door to door/or over the phone and sell the book for a very minimal fee for about £5 or free if people are really struggling.

The benefit to the therapist is that they can raise awareness. It won’t be just advertisements we will have them write articles, book reviews, help aspiring therapists with thier careers, have them exclusively offer “special rates”, invite readers to mental health seminars etc
I have a friend...
