Carl Weathers Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Have you got an essay due in or something? It's really hard to start a business in a lot of the typical sectors at the moment. I probably wouldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'd start a football think tank. People could pay me and other like minded individuals to write about football, and sit in a tank and think about it all day. Bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 A years rental on a few flats and install a few girls in them, skim 60% off the top of "visitors fees". It is the oldest trade after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number16 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 i'd take the ?20,000 and go to the bank for a loan to add on to it. maybe set up a bookies (people tend to gamble more in a recession) or something that you know alot about. a chippy or a good sandwich shop near a school would struggle to go badly aswell.

Acey Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 maybe set up a bookies (people tend to gamble more in a recession) You'd have heart attacks twice a day if you were running an independent bookie with less than ?20,000 of cash! ...Or you could establish a "maximum bet 25p, tricasts only" rule or something.

Boris Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 A barbers shop on St John's Road, Corstorphine. Only two there to my knowledge (the Turk's Head and "the Fishmongers") Everyone needs their Alf sorted - I reckon it would be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Prior to the recession and they building trade coming to a standstill I had toyed with the idea of starting up some kind of 'purchasing co-operative' for small builders/self employed tradesmen. Combining the volume of business for say 20 small business' then doing annual deals with wholesalers/builders yards could easily knock 10-15% off material costs with me taking a cut of say 5%!

Sterling Archer Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 when i saw the title to this thread i thought it was was some sort of marathon on treadmills. not quite sure what id start, probably a raffling business (thats what we did in bus ed in 4th year) we made 250 quid in a week. although we got shut down by the head teacher cause it turns out you need a gambling licence for that apparently?

the doomed Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 You can get any small business off the ground with 20k if you can prove its viable. not everyone starting a small business has plans to takeover the world. many are happy to operate as profitable sole traders.
