How hard is it now to start up something with out much qualification as I start up years ago in scrap and bought a old van and went for it before licences and liability insurance etc . I don't want to put a dampener and fair play to the fella idea but don't think it's as easy now is it ? As you say fair play to him, I'm sure if he puts the graft in (whatever he chooses) there will be opportunities to make a few quid... a man and a van is a useful commodity... house/shed clears, rubbish clearing, gardening, window cleaning, some diy type works (if he can turn his hand), deliveries... or a mixture of all... its getting your head down and finding the opportunities... far too many doom and gloom merchants around, you've just got to be willing to graft and spot an opening.... "it's there for everyone" (as my old man used to tell me)... good luck to the lad. Edited October 18, 2016 by NEWKID 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
