Bannatyne is a very minded man, me and misses where members of our local gym paying £90 a month, when I was doing a charity event for my daughter we asked lots of local businesses to donate items, one of them being the gym that I was a member with for 3 years and they earnt over 3k from us, they wouldnt even donate a free months pass (which could of gained them a new customer) of not even a towel/bag etc, as there not allowed, this is the reason they dont get my money no more, so if they have gone bust I hope duncan has lost money too.....

There are about 20 replies talking about "if they have gone under" so on and so forth but is there anyone that lives near their offices go and find out the truth. I am currently not doing window cleaning but pressure washing and they have not affected me. If they have affected you the best thing is to find the facts because if you have lost business to them and they HAVE gone you need to get back to these customers you lost and try and get them back. If they left you on price they may be sheepish to come to you with their tails between their legs and someone else will get them. Offer them your original or higher price if you can. If you were good and they know you are they will have leant their lesson about just price and want to keep you this time.  :)

hi guys, not too sure if they've gone out of bus but i know that a certain nationwide bookies has paid to get out of a 3 year contract with them-and i got my work back after 13 months of them sending muppets to do the jobs :P If you saw them on dragons den you'll know which bookies it was.

Was it Paddy Powers ???

the problem is you can go in cheap for so long then it catches up with you the prices they charge you can not make big profits there are certain things you can not get cheap
fuel
tax
ni
insurance
maitanance of viechals

you can get cheap

workers
tools
jobs

but at a stage your outgoins come to more than your incomings

If you read on one of Duncans tweets he says he's done his 100k so that could be a clue?

Why worry about what other people are doing. Just concentrate on making your business grow. And get out knocking on doors.  ;)

I live in Gateshead and I haven't heard anything.  I've just checked local press and nothing there either.

No, they have gone bust 100%. Read the tweets if you don't believe, better still phone them up and ask them!!! Doesnt matter how driven they are, they over spent and under delivered.

I never believed it.It's in the rules that they mustn't have met before, but i got the idea it was pre planned.The figures didn't stack and it was all about tony being a mini duncan.A set up.

The money in window cleaning isn't good enough to be an instant millionaire.
