Not at all, i dont fear any competition as far as im concerned every where can be anyones patch have you got any equipment or customers yet?

[Ben Walker]

  hmm, why do i get the impression i'm pishing against the dourrr scots wind on this one. It all seems so bonnie down south, you guys all mucking together
phoned couple guys up -they prefered to try a dissuade from the business. can't believe its that competative? Next door said they need a w/c so theres me starter, i'll practice on theirs.
still, could do with some on the job advice with ladder thing, what to get how to use etc and any inside info on licence and any specific regs in scotland would do a treat.
better to start in the know rather than p around in ignorance.
Gordons- why are you asking me if i've got any eqpt or customers yet? (as if you doubt my intentions) May i say, since your in the business up ere and joining in the forum why don't you at least give us some advice, even if its just:
"look mate, to be perfectly honest, i wouldn't bother window cleaning in glasgow, you'll only get agro"

don't let anyone put you off, if you do a good job, go where you like, don't try and poach thats bad, to get started, get up earlier work longer work harder than any possible competition, while they are having a cup of tea you are working, while they are taking a long lunch you are still working, practise practise practise, be reliable and your good reputaion will proceed you and business will come your way, get a free listing on yell.com, get some leaflets done, and get insurance, put this on your leaflets, people will want someone they know is insured if something happens on there property, also help if you need to put prices up.
