How about Minibus hire?

A tidy 17str transit is about £6k. Sure, you still need to go through the whole Operators Licence process, and you are restricted by a tachograph, but there are possibilities for large family airport/cruise terminal runs, evening trips to/from town.

National Express/Airlinks/TGM/OFJ might also be worth a shout but guessing from your previous suggestions, that you're done with buses

I'd really like to work for myself as no-one will give me a chance.

I send CV's and application forms and get no reply. It's horrible being bored out of your mind.

It's the feeling of being useless that's the worst.

No use to anyone.

Come back North and try these......they also have a taxi company.......

This company is part of my early retirement plan, which is getting nearer by the day.....

Thanks Mike. Sedgefield is a nice area but I'm not really in the position to move at the moment. I wouldn't be able to afford the moving costs.

Thank's, that's a great idea but I don't think I'd be able to raise that much capital. Parking a minibus here in Fulham is restricted.

I think I might try and move out Berkshire way.

Has anyone ever ran a catering van business?

Is there any money in it?

From people that I know that have run these the most important three things to make money are location, location and location. Somebody I knew that had a pitch of the A34 used to make a mint, but getting a good pitch is not easy.

I would imagine that like most low skill self-employed trades the competition is intense.

If you are looking for a low skill, no investment job that makes good money. I knew somebody that used to work for a company that specialized in clean large houses in the Ascot and Sunningdale areas. This might be worth looking into. Likewise with all of the rich people and big houses in central London are there similar opportunities?

Thanks very much I really like that idea.

I think I will look into this as getting money for investment is quite difficult.

the money now is in catering to the rich.  the poor and middle classes have nothing to spend. 2 friends of mine have specialised and are doing well one walks dogs for the wealthy, one rips out fitting for top of the range range rovers and replaces them with leather everything.
