Yes Ben is 21, as fit as a butchers dog, and doing very well, just goes to show, friendly personality, nice uniform & logo, smart looking van, a decent leaflet and things going good, and as said before, he can charge £10 for large houses, do 3 an hour and earn great living. He is picking up lots of 3 story town houses, where third stored not getting cleaned.
As for going limited company, we were recomended by the blue chip accountant, not too as we will have to pay tax bill a year earlier. This is probably because when we went self employed, did not have to pay tax till after second year in business, but my wife who became self about 15 years ago, had to pay her tax a year in advance, so double check.
And to Kentclean, thanks for nice comment on van, logo cost £95, and full van £120
