    Starting my own business

    Thanks very much for the in-depth reply Leigh. I will look to get some part time work and put the idea on hold for a short while. After being in the business yourself would you say it will take a long time to learn the job well enough to start out on my own? Would i also need to get the...

    Starting my own business

    Thanks for the advice mate, makes a lot of sense. I would also like to know the opinion of you guys and gals as to whether the removals business is viable in the current economic climate? Are people making money or are they struggling? I know there are lots of people moving house regularly...

    Starting my own business

    Sounds like a sensible idea to me. I dont expect it would take too long to learn most of the ins and outs of the actual loading/unloading. I think i could get by as i am and learn as i go along however the last thing i want to do is fvck up on a job or look unprofessional as the bad name will...

    Starting my own business

    I have a few contacts who have been in the removals business for a pretty long time (10+ years), however the one who lives close to me is now in a different line of work otherwise i could have had a bit of experience working with him. The other 2 work at the other end of the country. I'm hoping...

    I was thinking along these lines to begin with but don't want to take the risk of it not working. I'm also leaning more towards a removal business rather than man and van service. Thanks for the idea though.

    I will certainly have insurance, however as far as i know there shouldnt be too much of a problem as long as careful with possessions, load the van properly etc.

    Starting my own business

    Thanks very much to everyone who's replied, very helpful. I will look into paypal then as it seems the way to go. Leigh, competing against the 'man and van' services is a concern i have. As you say price wise they would be able to undercut me. What should i be doing that offers the customer...

    Starting my own business

    Hello everyone. I'm currently looking to set up a removals company (house moves, office moves etc) in my area as i'm fed up with my current job. My plan is to advertise my business in the local area with leaflets and business cards, and then hire a vehicle when needed. This way i can keep...
