Hi All,
After a few weeks of lurking in the shadows, I thought it time I reveal myself (not like that!). In all seriousness though, it’s been a massive help reading this forum, so I already owe you all some thanks.
So a bit about me; my name is James, 35 and based in West Sussex. I’ve previously worked part time at an independent trader, and have on-off traded privately from home for the last few years. I love everything Cars, spend all my spare time researching cars, and being a Chartered Engineer I’m fairly handy at the odd fix too. I’ve always been drawn to this industry, hence the prior dabbling, but never took the plunge to make it a proper business. I still plan to retain my day job for the short to medium term, but this time have serious aspirations to start a professional business and grow it into something. In terms of stock, I’m going to focus on performance, as this is what I know, and have had some fairly good success with in the past. I plan to stock 3 cars in the £5-10k range to start with and trade from home whilst I build up some capital to take the business to its next stage.
No doubt I have a massive amount to learn, there’s a big difference between what I’ve done before and what I would like to do, so I hope you guys won’t mind the odd daft question!
So that’s it for now, I look forward to hopefully becoming an active member of the forum soon.
James
