Welcome to the forum Castlecarcare, and hope that someone who was in a similar position to you has made the leap and made it work......because i dont want to be the one to tell you to "go for it" and it doesnt work out for you.

If you do the homework and do the survey of the area and find that aside from your friends and workmates that there is a potential for car valeting around your way, then..........!!!!????

Regards

is there no way you could start part-time first just to test the water as it were before taking the plunge?

Jonny you could approach your local taxi depots and maybe do a call out for when people throw up or any thing else ,taxis have to go of the road when this happens when they would rather be making money.
Also approach your local coach operators and haulage firms.
