Want to do somthing for myself basicly, and this i would be intrested in, vehicle diagnostics, and then maybe moving onto mapping software etc when i get abit experiance under my belt, what is the market like for this, here in the north east, i know of a few but not loads, i know i will have too go right into dept about it too, is there anyone on here that does this, what is the best way to go about it, draw up a buisness plan, go see the bank manager and so on about a buisness loan, the inlaw has got a comercial garage does cars, trucks busses for bands etc and also have a friend that owns a salvage buisness too, well infact know a few, so maybe a good stepping stone if i were to speak to them

Never tried to start a business myself, but I would suggest start by acquiring the skills/knowledge to do the job, see if you can find odd jobs and see how much demand there is and how much people are willing to pay you, if the demand is there and you can charge enough to make a living then start taking on more work and spending more time on it. Only spend what you earn, so only grow your expenses as you grow your income. Don't make any investment that you don't have to.
