The cost of any workshop aint gonna be cheap, it all sounds cheap in talk when you look into it, but once all the cheap bits are added up together it works out that you need to earn about £800 to £1000 per month before you start to pay wages or yourself.

The business rates are the killer, but this one is excellent compared to my last one. This workshop is £140 per month for rates and my last one was just up the road and cost £1000 per month in rates.

Then you need the mortage or rent, electric, gas and water, then it's oil disposal, oil filter disposal and general rubbish disposal (no the council bin lorry wont take it) then you need insurance.The list just goes on.

But I am going to concentrate on the posi sides, I have met a lot of great people whilst working with cars and felt that most of my customers have become friends, you can never have too many friends, especialy when they supply the biccies.

Regards
Martin.
That difference in business rates is vast!

One month in the old place is = to over seven months in the new!

Best wishes with the new premises Martin.

Excellent stuff :D

Can I make an appointment to come and see you? I have a leaky HP pump and pressure regulator on my V6....

More about that in my blog later but for now, well done and all the very best for a very successful and properous future. I'll not be doing any further hydraulic work - I'll be coming to see you :wink: :lol:
