Which one would make the most profit,bearing in mind 2 vans with the extra cost of buying running them.and more cost to rent some where to park it like a small unit,as no way could park 2 vans at home

To buy a van kit it out looking at 6-8k then the running cost and cost of parking(unit)I will do my sums,just thought if anyone else has worked it out.I don't think there's much in it

Providing the 2 vans are  kept busy, then it should be more profitable.
You can delegate each of them certain jobs etc that you have control of and probably know the times etc taken. You can also, if you wish, play 1 against the other to produce results.
It also depends on what type of work you have. Sometimes 2 are better than 1 and again, 1 on his  own is all that is needed.

I used to work full time with another guy, we split when my family circumstances made it dificult. Now our combined PROFIT now is greater by about 25% than it was when we were working together.

2 men 2 vans but you dont have to spend £6k.

We never rented a unit and park our vehicles at our own home. Without knowing ALL your circumstances it would be impossible to say for you but we make more money now. We still do some big jobs together.
