Hi guys I am currently working self employed for a guy who i clean windows for and mobile valeting and the odd graffiti removal job full time 5 days a week, I was brought up in a small town up here in Scotland and after some detective work found out that the local window cleaner for the town has packed it in he was getting on 60 or something.. I basically want to start up my self i have been in talks with the princes trust who are offering me a low interest loan of 5000 I have done calculations and can get the equipment for bang on that amount i do have a spare 1000 or so if need be i would like to get in on this town everyone knows me and i feel i can do the job and make a good living out of it.. i currenlty earn the guy who i work for 150 to 250 pound a day on windows 5 days a week and hes making a killing and giving me 50 quid a day.. I would provide the window cleaning and low cost mobile valeting and also carpet cleaning basically shoul i give it ago help would be amazing cheers...

You go for it mate.

Theres plenty of cowboy employers out there that use employees and rip them off (but wouldnt work for the rates they pay if they were doing it themselves) do yourself a favour and work for yourself. Sounds like you have an ideal opportunity with this guy packing it all in near to you.

Stick around on here long enough mate and you'll pick up the tips and suggestions you need to learn. Good for you.

£50 a day! Seen that kind of rate posted on here too many times, no wonder you're looking elsewhere to better yourself.

You should be able to set your self up for less than 5000.00, including a carpet cleaning machine.

Thats the problem with employing people. They start getting ideas of their own :o.
