    New Start-Up

    Thanks everybody. I've been working away busily, doing things in the wrong order no doubt, but I need to act quick and be ready to pounce when the plug is pulled...

    I guess I should add that I'm hoping to be able to purchase some of the stock from the liquidators.

    New Start-Up

    I've been on this forum a while ago asking for advice when I was offered a Directorship in the company I have worked at for many years, I never took what was offered...thankfully (read on). And now? The company is soon to be going into liquidation/insolvency. (Phew, dodged that bullet!!!) I've...

    advice on starting a carpet and upholstery cleaning business

    There's a difference between learning how to use a machine and learning how to clean a carpet.

    Thanks for all your input.

    Becoming a Director.

    Well, I didn't rush in, and I raised a few questions. Things are on hold for 6 months until it can be determined that the company can be profitable enough to justify it. It gives us chance to build the company into what we want, without the personal risk. It also gives me much more time to look...

    Pro-Chem do a fantastic course. Machines vary in type, performance and budget. Where are you based, are you wanting a new or refurbished machine?

    What is your daily routine?

    My daily routine starts with all good intentions. I'll plan to do A, B & C in the morning, D, E, & F in the afternoon. Before I've broken the back of A, number 1 want's me to do G, H & I. As I sit down to do G, number 3 tells me his stuff, J, K & L is important, and number 1 will agree, then...

    Potentially. I know the trade well, I know where there are gaps that need filling.

    We supply cleaning equipment. I have always been on the service side of things and now run the service department.

    Becoming a Director.

    Something I have been expecting at some point, and certainly not something I have been looking forward to thinking about. I guess I could always go to the Start Up pages, I keep telling myself I would be able to do a better job of things, it's just hard to look at leaping with a young family to...

    Becoming a Director.

    That was my initial worry. I guess here (if I was to accept) I would need a huge amount of trust. Like I say, I've been here 16 years. I have been through the thick and thin before...I guess that is where my doubt stems from.

    Becoming a Director.

    I'm posting this in the 'General' forum as there are questions I want to ask on various topics. To give you a brief insight, I've been offered the position of 'Director' at the company I have worked at for 16 years. It has been offered to 'reward my efforts', but I have a tiny element of doubt...

    Eyup from Yorkshire.

    Gareth here. I'm currently a 'Service Manager' for a small company who deals with cleaning equipment sales, service and support. I've worked here for 16 years and have covered almost every position within the company when the need arose. I have many questions, but I also have an awful lot of...
