If finance was taken out of the equation is there any service that you would like to offer.
Please give details of the service and why?
Rob ;D

Please refer to my new website .

It is highly likely I would be married (in some strange foreign law) if I opened the link
No thank you ;D

Runway Rubber Removal.

Why mate? and what is the cost to set up? and what is the average ticket price?
Rob ;D
-
Anything to do with weddings. You put the word wedding in front of most things and the price doubles.
-
Pimp
-
I should have expected it really.
I will put it another way - I am looking for a niche market service, on top of what we already have.
Something not mainstream - any ideas?
I wont be setting up as a gigolo, pimp or Laurence LLewelyn Bowen (fluffy cuffed) wedding organiser.
Rob ;D

Rob,
If we had an idea for a niche add on that would be lucrative etc.. why would we tell you?
-
Only a question Matt. Nobody has to give their secrets! I am attempting to go a little wider on the services offered. It doesn't have to be cleaning related
I am looking for another venture. Someone may have an angle they can never do anything about, whether that is because of financial restraints or they just see it as a dream that will never happen.
The suggestion may not be what I am looking for but it may spark another angle off it. If no one comes up with anything that is fine, I will find something.

I am not saying that money isn't an issue but I am in the mood to stretch a little

Fire engine limo company, be good for proms and weddings but also good to advertise pressure washing and event days. Loads of people will come to you to have a look at the fire engine, perfect time to give them some leaflets about cleaning too!
Could also be used to swill off huge jobs :)

Well that would be the night job I could go do lots of sandblasting in the day and not even pay for the media ;D ;D ;D Or I could take your new toy with me and see if I could blast the colour off grass skirts with it!!!

Mobile gourmet coffee shop.
A Starbucks on wheels catering to gymkhanas and top notch outdoor events

Bit of sense at last. Do you like coffee Mike.
I am a great fan of ground coffee, stronger the better!. Thought about an online coffee shop, selling beans, coffee grinders, machines etc.

Have you lost Sainsburys?

Rob, I start every day at 6.30am in Cafe Neros, Americano with an extra shot, cream, & a spoonful of organic coconut oil.
The general public are really getting into the coffee culture, I read that gourmet coffee is recession proof as people see it as an affordable luxury treat.
My local shop alWays has a queue..... Makes a fortune.
There is no mobile coffee that gives the real Barista experiance.

No I haven't lost Sainsbury's, we handed the Foss Bank, York store over this week and I have work at Brixton next week ;)
I looked into Kopi Luwak and thought that it could be a real money spinner.
Kopi luwak (Indonesian pronunciation: [ˈkopi ˈlu.aʔ]), or civet coffee, refers to the beans of coffee berries once they have been eaten and excreted by the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus).[1] The name is also used for marketing brewed coffee made from those beans.
Producers of the coffee beans argue that the process may improve coffee through two mechanisms, selection and digestion. Selection occurs if the civets choose to eat coffee cherries containing better beans. Digestive mechanisms may improve the flavor profile of the coffee beans that have been eaten. The civet eats the berries for the beans' fleshy pulp, then in the digestive tract, fermentation occurs. The civet's proteolytic enzymes seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids.[2] Passing through a civet's intestines the beans are then defecated with other fecal matter and collected.
The method of collected feces from wild civets has given way to intensive farming methods in which caged civets are force fed the coffee beans. This method of production has raised ethical concerns about the treatment of civets due to "horrific conditions" including isolation, poor diet, small cages and a high mortality rate.[3][4] According to an officer from TRAFFIC, the trade in civets to make kopi luwak may constitute a significant threat to wild civet populations.[5]
Intensive farming is also criticised by traditional farmers because the selection mechanism does not come into play, so the beans are of poor quality compared to beans collected from the wild.[6]
In the coffee industry kopi luwak is widely regarded as a gimmick or novelty item.[7] The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) states that there is a "general consensus within the industry ... it just tastes bad". SCAA claims that almost all kopi luwak available for sale is counterfeit, as 50 times more kopi luwak is sold than produced.[7]
Although kopi luwak is a form of processing, not a variety of coffee, it has been called the most expensive coffee in the world with retail prices reaching €550 / US$700 per kilogram.[8] The price paid to collectors in the Philippines is closer to US$20 per kilogram.[1]

Are you making money from Sainsburys? ...not interested in how much but just generally.
You ask questions like a worried man...but i have already inquired about your health and that you have assured me it is ok.
You are usually rattling on about how big your tools are and how much you have cleaned while i am cuddling up to my boyfriend at night.
The man from the cleaning academy is going to make millionaires out of us all and the sun is shinning life is good...but you seem a little subdued ..to the extent you are agreeing with me on some posts.
Love you xxx

I am doing really well from my current business. I expect to do really well from my Farrow System.
Recently I have stepped back from the business, day to day operations and am much less hands on. I have four great lads, all self employed that are getting their hands dirty for the business.
This has given me a lot of time, to concentrate on training, development, the day to day running, Getting the RAMS & general paperwork in order and to improve them.
I will be in a position, if I wish, to look at another avenue and pay off a large chunk of some of my borrowed money.
Just looking to the future, putting some width on it and seeing what i can achieve.
I want to retire in nine years but for me retirement would be overseeing three businesses and enjoying the profits.
I have a lot to do ;)

I looked into a sex chat line.. Seriously..(not me on the phone personally)
Not a lot of start up/running costs and very high return. No shortage of customers either. But the market is flooded (pun maybe intended) So i need to think of a fetish to use as my niche.

Tickle their............................... with a turbo nozzle.

Recently I have looked at running a Gite business in France, property prices are exceptionally cheap, it is not the sort of business that would make a fortune as the holiday letting season is pretty short but it would be more of a lifestyle change by being pretty self sufficient ie growing own food and having a few animals and plenty of time out of season to enjoy life.
Just trying to learn French at the moment and wishing I had paid more attention at school, already looked at a couple of properties and intend going again to view more, one serious contender is a house with 5 fully restored furnished gites and over 2 acres of land for just £267k

Me and my wife have just brought a very well sort after shop in our town she works it with other staff I run the business side of things, in the last 2 weeks I've had 4 other people asking how I got it as it never went on the open market and saying they would have brought it, and it makes a very very healthy profit ;D
