 Time for new business? - RattleandSmoke
Been confused about this all week at it may already be too late.

A premises has come to let for £300 a month near me. It used to be a car garage (one I used to go) but he has since moved and after that it came a car wash place
It is about 250sq foot is quite secure. I am sure most people on here know I make a living by visiting peoples houses and fixing their computers but a lot of machines I have to repair at home. The problem is home is a large three bedroom house (my parents, my and my sister) but they will need to sell up soon and get something smaller.

Home is already too small for my business and it is taking me to long to repair machines as I do not have the capacity to work on more than one machine at a time

This premises to let is in a location next two primary school and is next to a very twenty cake shop with lots of fit women working in it. To get an idea of location think Kings Road, Chelsea but in Manchester. Another way of putting it is a lot of well off people will be eating and dining next door to this premises.

Locationwise it is perfect but security is a bit suspect (it has wooden shutters) and I reckon with rates and ultilities included it would cost me £500 a month.

My big question is how easy would be to generate £500 a month extra business just by having a shop? the plan is to pay my dad to man it 9-5 while I visit people on site. Could this work?

I am very drunk now in case their is any spelling mistakes (had 10 and a half pints, partly thanks to Ted :) ) but this has been bugging me all night. I have spent enough time on my dads car to get running in a road worthy and legal state so there is no longer a major rush for me to get a new car.
