Small advert in local paper until the business grows?

Buy the bare necessity tools to get you going, maybe stick some on a credit card for a month or two, or are you trying to run before you can walk?

Try contacting your local business link people. A google search should throw up their details

Just trying to save the op some time, as that seems to be of the essence judging by his post in the jobs section. A quick search of the business forum, or indeed simply looking down the list of threads on the first page may have answered his question within a couple of minutes, instead of waiting for replies.

Iye, no worries. trouble is the search facility can be utter crap at times. hope you didnt take my post badly. Dave

you would be best loaning the money personally as i cant imagine it being a huge investment.

If thats not possible, do your business plan properly and go sit down with your business banking manager. HSBC are good for first time start ups

[mrlovalova]

I have experience in running a company
i had a plumbing company for 12 years before moving back to uk last year.
I also know i WILL be successfull as i have seen and heard how tradesmen treat customers and some of their work is discusting to say the least
As for Funding i mean by Advertising so i can Genereate an income and clientel ( yellow pages local papers) yell.com want around £1200 and the local papers are around £50.00 p/week .
Tools i do have the basics just need ladders and machinery
Bank loan ? i dont know how they work in uk such as how long have you been in the uk and weather you are working or not ( I was born in the uk by the way)
I have tried a few places like princes trust and such but no joy.
so thats it i just need a little advice or direction to help get it going
