Starting my own business any tips?
v8rangie:
Im looking at starting my own car collection/delivery company and also breaking land rovers for parts.
im hoping to be able to get a business loan to buy a Recovery van and put a good couple of months rent down on a unit somewhere.
if not then ill just save bit by bit out of my current wages and get vthe van and build up to the unit for breaking.
Has anyone else got there own business and do you have any tips or info on the best way to run everything?
I could prob keep myself going with a collection/delivery service just for Mud-Club :)

If you're looking to start your own business the number one thing you need is:
Stress management skills.
I'm just coming up on the end of my first year. While I won't say it hasn't been fun, it has certainly been stressful.
v8rangie:
Yeah i bet it is.
but you get the satisfaction that you have done it all yourself sorted everything out and built it up from nothing.
It seems to be the only way to make decent money nowadays you cant do it working for others.

My advice having been there, done that - don't do it!
Yes, it can be rewarding, but no hols, no sick pay, etc. You aren't your own boss, your customers are your bosses, and they never let up! The job can end up running your life, not the other way round like it should do. VAT issues, tax issues. It never ends.
Then again, it can be sooooooo different, and life can be sweet.
I prefer to let someone else have the stress and money worries though now. I do my bit and go home without the sleepless nights. Life is sweet.
Good luck, I hope it works out like you want it to.

i suppose its the same with everything really you have to put a lot in which im prepared to do before it all works out and you can start taking time off and employing others etc.
i really do hope all goes well im just looking into units to rent and found a fair few this morning.
