Hi Dean,
I am located in Staffordshire. Previously I was a one trick pony, I bought and sold cars and that was it. But plan to broaden
horizons with repairs, financing, valeting and will probably go down the route of a recovery truck also. When I was on my own I struggled with the problem of fetching/delivering cars and so reliant on favours. I am doing as much research as I can at the moment as the premises I mentioned are leased out at present so am now in a position to jump in until the lease ends. I keep my eye on whats said on hear daily and keep my eyes on the trade sources I previously used but am open to suggestions on peoples option of the best stock sourcing.

Hi Dean,
I have enjoyed reading this thread as I am in a similar boat, I currently work in a Main Dealer Sales position and am keen to set up a 2 person Partnership for Sales/Service/Repairs/Valeting. I have done the whole sales from home in the past and it was hard but rewarding, enjoyable and I made a good living (all be it very stressful). My biggest concerns regarding the venture is keeping the wolf from the door whilst I find my feet and am I being a bit naïve in thinking that I can pick up service and repair customer? My partner is not experienced in the Motor trade but is experienced in running a business and is possibly the hardest working person on the planet.! Also he owns premises that will be spot on All be it a little bit rural but with the growing Ecommerce influence into car purchasing I think this is getting less or a problem, and finally the dreaded CRA2015 does worry me a bit, as I have read numerous grippes on here.
But I am a firm believer that ' it is better to try and fail then never try at all'
