hiya mate is was going back a few years i was living at my parents and was looking to expand etc my dad didnt want vans all outside his house and staff coming and going and refilling etc so i took on a small unit few miles away, come winter time the water was freezing in the unit as it was a timer frame with aluminium cladding so had to move nearer home to unit we had the break ins at, before the break in we was planning on setting up a cleaning supplies shop and unit next to us came up really cheap 200quid so signed up on a lease, then had the two break in none of us wanted to stay there my matemention about this unit his cousin had who had gone to jail it was perfect for the shop we was planning to open had shop front,trade counter lighting large shop floor,sectioned off so one side cud be used for window cleaning,nice and secure gated and camera up,rollers shutters for all doors it felt like a safe option but was 600 a month i felt it was right option as at old unit i was looking to spend 10,000 to get shop set up anyway, unfortunately ive had to shelve them plans for now but still paying the price for unit as signed into a long lease,
im at a crossroads now to decide where to go, im thinking safe option is keep under the vat with the window cleaning and allow one staff member to keep it going for the next year and i help out if we get behind which i dont think we will.
im considering seting up a hand car wash at the unit as we are on a busy industrial estate
set up the cleaning supplies shop which isnt the biggest earner
do something else with the space
its a shame coz i cant really build the window cleaning up that much more i think i should be bk up to vat threshold early summer
this is reason im thinkin of getting an admin assistant in or giving the staff member more responsibilty to do paperwork as im at a loose end most of the day
