A quarry. With the economy the way it is 4 of us had to go out of 11

So how much more turnover do you need to pay the bills and what part of the country do you live?

[colley614]

good luck with it mate. Lets hope its the start of something good and all that

[collins82002]

Money will last four month plus insurances but more money the better.

Before you start give business link a ring and see if you are entitled to any grants before you start ' trading' if you are already registered with the revenue and have a business account then you won't get anything. But its worth a try, you can also apply to the princes trust if you are under 30.

That sounds like good advice from Colley; I never did anything like that when I started up.

But Spring is just round the corner; this is the best time to get new customers; and after the recent weather we've had I reckon there'll have been a few window cleaners who'll either have given up or dropped their B List customers.

A part time job might be advisable also; I did some weekend security work which paid peanuts when I first started window cleaning and it definately helped.

I would also look at your website if your giving that out to customers.

[colley614]

Yeah its a good idea. If you advertise so that they visit your web site then you are more likely to be contacted because emails are free.
