Title: start up advice
Post by: th77 on April 16, 2010, 08:00:16 pm
Hi everyone,

After being made redundant for the 5th time in 8 years I have decided to get out of the printing industry.
I am thinking of starting a window cleaning round.
I will be working in southeast london and kent borders.
I would like some advice on pricing in and also what would be the right equipment to start with.
I will be going with wfp but dont know if i should get a van set up or trolly system.
Also do you know if you can lease the equipment or do you need to buy.
Your advice would be much appriciated. 
Thanks.

Build a business dont buy one! Start small and work your way up you will reap the benefits of developing your own business in the long run, Trolley systems are great way of starting out and they really hold there money so when you come to upgrade you will be able to sell on or keep for awkward jobs. Feel free to call me if you would like advise I know your target area well my mum lives in welling.
