window cleaning pays the bills( when it is not freezing ), but it doesnt give you much job satisfaction ! What other business interests do you have that give you a bit more excitement ?
Me. . . . I like to buy random items from ebay and sell for a loss ;D

window cleaning pays the bills and leaves me with a fair whack for bad weather days and holidays/clothes/new equipment etc!! ;D ;D
i dont have time for other businesses!my business is cleaning!!and i love it most of the time even when its snowing i can at least get out for a few hours work usually.
i make all the money i need to have a reasonably comfortable life!!
i cant ask for more than that really in these harsh economic times.

My new business is in property development
I am going through the process of selecting a name and arranging finance.
Its the best time to buy property if the banks will lend and im not far away now from meeting certain criteria.
I didnt pursuit the construction business because of low profit margins and suicide bidding but then i realised the developer is the one making the largest profit.
Its in its very early stages and will probably be 12-18 months before i make a decent profit but it will be something i will enjoy doing and im looking forward to the challenge but i dont think i will give up the window cleaning unless i have too

I was on the verge of starting up in wedding photography, done a few friends and family, but window cleaning's SO easy and stress free that I couldn't justify it. (apart from when your van's axle deep in snow and you have a 650ltr ice cube in the back)..
some of my stuff can be viewed here.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cactusmelba/

dont have one as yet but would like one in the future. Thought about getitng a burger van or a market stall

I put the wife on the game, she came back with £100 and 50 pence. I said who gave you 50 pence and she replied all of them ;D

Does that involve council contracts or do you just send your lads out wherever you wish?
St helens has got a private company doing the traffic enforcement and they are raking it in. They got me about two months ago £35 fine but they are traffic wardens ive never seen clampers around here...
Danny
-
f*** off JSMC. People asked and i was being honest
i just feel the whole clamping industry is wrong. i disagree with it and so does the countyr i live in.
each to their own.

Iv working with the magistrates court in manchester sorting out the parking on their car carpark but thats the closest iv got to working for anything goverment based. It land owners that have problems with people parking on their private property. Its probably NCP that won the tender for st helens council. They are a massive company and its the same as anything else, its who you know not what you know. My company isnt one of the cowboy outfits you see on watchdog. 100% legit and above board and im proud of it. Started it myself and have lads over twice my age working for me and making a very healthy profit. Thats why i get annoyed when people have a go....
Danny
-
JSMC please read above mate and see if you understand where im coming from. I totaly understand their are twats out there that pick on innocent people and rob them but my company isnt one of them. No hard feeling mate but i think you would also defend a comapny you worked hard to build at the age of 21 (im 22 now)

fair play to you mate. i just don't agree with the whole industry of it. Is the law changing down south soon ? i am sure somehting was on the news not long ago.
-
Cheers danny. Just a niche market mate that as you can see some people dont like ;D.
Ye JSMC they are trying to bring it in the new year. I think the whole security industry need tightening up but it just seems that because wheel clamping lends it self to earning easy money that alot of idiots have got into it and just ruined the whole thing. Wheel clamping is needed no matter what anyone says. Private tickets arent worth the paper they are printed on (unlike council tickets)

I've recently started a contract cleaning company with my brother - Footprint Cleaning Ltd >> www.footprintcleaning.com
It's in the early stages, looking forward to marketing it in 2011.

I do a bit of web design,.. to be honest it makes a fraction of the money per hour that window cleaning does, but its better than nothing when the weather makes shining impossible.
I've just helped my mrs setup a business making organic soap. Its actually quite enjoyable to make (Even though I normally get stuck with the job of packaging it up) and even though she only just started selling a few weeks back, she's doing really well at it,.. mostly ppl buying gifts this time of year. If business is still as good after Xmas I may retire & let her bring home the bread! ;)

Any advice on getting started in this business as I am interested in runnuing a small company doing wheel clamping but like you say in a professional way

interesting to see what others all do and some good replies. well done to everyone involved.

I sell pictures from time to time, but it's too inconsistant to rely on.
Sometimes two in a month, sometimes nothing for 6 months.

Haha thats brilliant mate good on you! Dont get me wrong iv got peoples cars back "for free" for them and it realy doesnt bother me. The way i see it is if someone has the balls to cut it off and get caught the good on them, Its learning curve whenever iv had one cut off....only ever happened twice but clamping isnt as big up here as it is down south.

Its quite hard to get into to be honest mate. You need to go on training courses and take tests just to get the licence to do it. Then you need to set up a company and have an appeals procedure and address, buy all of the equipment and then you have to get permission of land owner that actualy want it (to be honest their isnt that many after all the bad press its had). You will also get alot of threats against you for the local gangsters that want your company....iv been ask/told i need to pay protection money form a few n*bs in manchester. Then at the end of it all you might get taken to court and be orderd to pay the fine back. Pretty easy mate ;D

Honest! Bees! Sounds great. Have you any photos?

I have a look latter for some , i did have some ::)
Yes i have got 4 hives and i would like to expand to 15 this coming yr.
It's not cheap to setup but well worth it. As it's also alot of peeps hoby it's a real joy to do.

Is it true that bees are struggling to survive, and there is a shortage ?
-
In the USA it's in a very bad way. Here uk there are probs but mainly a pest and pesticides. In the USA they have what is called CCD people have lost hell of a lot .
It's wiped out some beekeepers business. Scientist are trying very hard to find the answer and one theory being that it's a mix of pesticides, this is showing in the honey and wax. Also the pesticides are showing in uk honey and wax, not good.

pics i hope

Thats brilliant mate! Thats the last idea id think of! What sort of money can be earnt doing this or is it more of just a hobby? The farther in law has 25 acres of land that i wouldnt mind trying it out on

Money can be made but you have to do your homework first.
sales in :
Honey
wax
bees
This is the basics but theres candles and the list goes on, wax polish for example.
Then there is the fear factor, can you cope with 75,000 bees looking at you in 1 hive at it's peek 8) They can kill, some may laugh but i know of a few this yr and also a few rushed to hospital.The old wives tell of the more you get stung the less it affects you is not totally true. Yes you don't feel the sting so much but your body can still shut down at any point.
The best thing is to read alot, look up your local association and go for a free days trail, they are very friendly and they will all tell you theres no money in it. A bit like window cleaning lol, no money in that neither ;D

Buy and sell some motors - anyone wanna buy a 2008 corsa ????

iv done a good few jobs from security , army,, factory,,, doorman,,,, office, since i started my own cleaning company i aint looked back, serious i think some people need to lookk around, my mate said to me the other day, haha leight ooo how working in this weather??? taking the pi s s ,,, i said im ok, your still working for £6.00 an hour you dull cutn,, lol.....
its a true saying that the weather gets people down!!!!!
-
I agree theres money to be made in this job, if there wasn't i wouldn't be doing it.But if you can make more money out of the same custys then it's even better ;D

my gramp used to do bees when he was alive, i remember wearing that weird suit thing and clouds of bees chasing me about lol im alergic aswell ::) nice honey but hard work making it. alway put ya bees near rape fields the honey is nice and runny and never goes hard. 8)
-
I'm a gay rights campaigner and activist, and i also do charity work helping to promote understanding, respect, tolerance and hopefully find a cure for it. So i'm always really busy when i'm not cleaning windows. Never get a minute really.

bees are cool, i remember going with my gramp to buy a queen off some bloke and some bees came with it ( yrs ago) the queen had some ink on her so we could see her better. but that summer it got wiped out by hornets, they got in and killed the lot. then the winter after rats ate the hives and water got in and killed them lol, he used to rent land off a farmer who had a spinny in the middle of no where. bees are clever things but there slowly dieing out

NOT scrap metal. Although iron & steel is paying £130 per tonne (in London) and up to £3500 per tonne for non- ferrous, there is WAY too much competition and the price fluctuates...

Good topic.My favourite subject.
Interesting that so few have ideas.The clamping was good and i wouldn't have thought of that in a million years, he must have stumbled onto it.
If you go looking for viable businesses there aren't that many.Many models that did work don't now.

Good topic this!
I f i had the money i would buy loads of houses do then up and rent them to councils/housing associations as there is a huge shortage of council houses!

I sold firewood last year, My mates a tree surgeon/lumber jack. He has got quite a big set up supplying logs and sticks in big quantities (cannot remember the term used for it, brain freeze) and then whoever buys them sells them on to garages etc.
He let me have them at bulk prices without having to buy in bulk, It went ok, But I was advertising for free in the classifieds and they stopped me as it was a business, I would now have to shift about 30 log nets a week just to pay for advertising so have not bothered this year.

I know people that do. I pick it up if i find it, store it and run it in come December when the price is at it's highest. I wouldn't recommend doing it full time though as i see so many scrappers on the road - even the binmen do that now.

i'm a football referee, if you can stand the abuse the money ain't bad ;)

i'm a singer. buble sinatra etc. well more michael buble now than sinatra stuff. just cos its more popular. £200/hr. thats cheap as well. more established acts go out for 400-500. i'm getting there. did a wedding other week and they paid me in 50pound notes, he said there is something in there for a drink, £50 more as a tip. honestly some people are loaded.
-
I am still building my rounds up.
To keep the money coming in, and have a bit of variety, I do a lot of plumbing and property repairs for a local estate agent.
I now have to employ as both businesses are growing steadilly ( hate giving work away).
-
I like to buy a few caravans around now in preperation for people going mad for them at easter, a caravan bought for arond £1000 now will easily fetch £1700+ in the easter rush if you know what your buying. I also buy and sell lots of random stuff on fleabay, i have a liking for snap-on tools and the odd motor if i see the rite 1.
-
I mostly do internet porn testing, but the money is rubbish
Yeah, and you have to do a week in hand.
-
i like buying cheap motorbikes and doing them up, theres money in selling 125cc bikes they go for silly money and these kids will buy them aswell ;D
-
Well, as for doing the window cleaning myself, I am really fed up! And only done it for about 2,5 years.
But I decided for a couple of month ago that I will just focus on sales and administration.
And this was the right decision for me! :)
But there are many things you can make money on, some as:
- Sale / installments / service of AC
- Sale / installments of window blinds (and everything in that sector)
- Stocks (if you know what you are doing, but you need to have some cash, at least 100.000)
You know, just like in WC, think of what people need all the time, over and over again.
If I were not having the lifestyle that I have now, and the goals that I am going after(not like running a company).
I would without a doubt start a telecom company from scratch, that delivers very good solutions to SMB market.
That would be fun! But then you need to focus 150% on that! Well, now I am focusing 75% on window cleaning, and perhaps soon 50%.....
Well let’s just say it.... there are more important things than window cleaning :) ITS JUST WINDOWS :)
-
That's much better.
Singing at 200ph is cheating as it requires talent.
I've always been rubbish at buying and selling, so this caravan trading etc probably falls into the talent catergory too.
On reflection i do have a talent. Running a basic business well.My wife does too. For a lot of you what you don't realise is that your skills are transferable.If you can run one biz pretty well, you can run another.
I am a market trader and a window cleaner and i am outstanding at both. If you take wc i waste- or have wasted -loads of money- but that's beside the point.This forum, some ideas of my own,and ive opened up a gap that can't be bridged.
That's not to say that i like the work because i don't.It's too hard, unrelenting, and never goes away.I much preferred being a market trader.Where you just stand around gossiping and drinking tea.
I'm always on the look out for businesses.

so your businesses not doing too well then slumps?maybe if you spent more time working hard instead of reading all the business books (and wasting money buying them!)you d have a few quid!!! ;) :P :P ;D ;D ;D

i do waste money.In your shoes i'd spend some, but it takes all types.

I like to go shooting - pheasant, deer, rabbits, people

I run an internet business as well, just flogging stuff. Its only small time but it has potential if I wanted to develop it, there is however always loads of competition.
My neice's boyfriend is a children's entertainer. Boy is that a good business. He has a well honed act but then he just does the same act over and over. He charges £100 for a one hour show and often does 3 on a Saturday and 3 on a Sunday.

After watching Dragons Den a couple of years ago I invested in the Gold plating set up that was shown.
Labam Rooms??? went on their with his Goldgenie and impressed the dragons and got backing. I liked the idea and saw a different market for it so bougt all of the equipment and started practising.
Got massively busy with the national works and it as sat on the back burner since then.
I like having it in the background and when the time is right the set up will come out and be pushed onto the relevant market.

so what ye plating?
-
I don't really want to say too much about the market I will be aiming at. I don't even know the market is viable but it cost less than £1000.00 to set up and could be set up for about £150.00.
The most expensive part of the plating process is the chemical and from my point of view it will be something that will be set up and then can be done even while I am out and about on my national works.

How many do you go through in a year mate, i also buy and sell, but the cheaper end of the market (also commercials). Find it a pain sometimes when my moneys tied up in a motor and i can't get rid!! How many motors do you usually stock, i don't usually have any more than 2 for sale at a time.
-
i like buying cheap motorbikes and doing them up, theres money in selling 125cc bikes they go for silly money and these kids will buy them aswell ;D

Yaes it does happen alot but then they get a criminal record and have to pay cost of the damage to the clamp and the fine and a fine from the police, its fine IF you can get away with it. What do you mean by "send them the bill for it"? Send a bill for what?

anyone who starts up a wheel clamping firm has got to be a bit of a w***k*r and a bully in my eyes!i just think its a immoral way to make money out of people.
dazmond
-
Shut the f*** up u tart and read the other posts. I aint a bully so dont call me one and get your facts right befor you start running your mouth off, i actually started up a security company but the biggest bit that took off was wheel clamping because it is needed and their are less people doing it. "Make money out of people" well it is pretty hard to make it any other way unless you print it! wheelclamping and ticketing for people that have problems with people parking on THEIR LAND THAT THEY OWN. Their are signs up say not to park there and the and 18inch by 24 inch signs placed at head height, i dont run a dodgey company. Why come on here and start arguments, no need to get personal and call me a w****r realy is their

i just think its a way of extorting money out of people and i think its bang out of order and should be banned.just my thoughts!! ;D ;D
i seem to remember you under and different name on ere a few months ago.a bit of a nasty piece of work are nt ya lad? ;D ;D ;D

If it was your land they were parking on you might think differently!
Rob ;D

Im not arsed what your thoughts are, calling me a w****r because you dont like something i do is going to far. Im not a "nasty piece of work" but im 6ft 4 and 17 stone, played rugby and boxed most of my life and started mixed martial arts about 8months ago so i can look after myself if needs be but as far as being nasty....no! What makes you say im nasty? As for the name....yes i was called lowecleaningservices as thats my last name (Daniel Lowe). Any more questions or digs you want to throw my way?

These guys are no problem , Cheetham hill is a deprived tip of an area , just because you are from a place does not make you hard!
Wheels clamp locks can be removes in 10 seconds with a cordless cutter ,, once I can drive again , I will be promoting to the media a lot more , and cutting a few more victims out of trouble . Meat heads like to hide behind thier muscle and roids , because of fear mainly .
You can be as hard as you like , but no one is as hard as a gun

Ye rob and this is what they are trying to stop with the freedom bill that is coming in. Say for instance that someone came and parked on your drive and left their car there, their is nothing you can do about it legally. Police cant get involved because it is private property, you cant do anything to the car or that is classed as criminal damage. Now imagine you owned a small shop and people were constantly leaving their cars on there and going to work for 10 hours and none of your customers could park on there because the carpark is full....makes you wonderwhat would happen without wheel clamping or ticketing

Alan im the same mate and if you read the previous posts you will see ???
Im as easy as they come but when someone calls you a w****r that dont know you i think Its going abit far.
Have a good day mate and thanks for putting a smile on my face again as camp as that sounds ha ;D
Danny

I agree
We have a very small corner of our drive that had a tree stump in the middle of it. We spent our money making it into car parking - you can probably get four cars on their - cost 5k.
Everyone thought we were providing parking for the terrace that our drive goes onto. Had to put bollards in to keep the riff raff off!!
If someone parked on their they would have to drive through one of my vans to get off. Well done - you are providing a service that your clients want.
Rob ;D

i'm a football referee, if you can stand the abuse the money ain't bad ;)
Sod that. I once ran the line at a kids pre-season friendly and that was bad enough. Never again.
The kids were great. The parents were the problem. It's quite possible I did make some wrong decisions but I did my best and called everything honestly. Offside was a bit simpler in those days.

Thats terrible to treat the guy like that. There he is doing his anti drigs bit for humanity and what do they do? Lock him up. Terrible, the worlds going , mad !!!
I think anyone who gets clamped deserves all they get. And anyone who gets a gun up there nose deserves all they get too !! I dont think any of it is done random, i hope not !! At least no ones done it to me. Oh yeah they did , when i was on the taxis !!
