Simon,
Have you done your training and have you started your business yet?

Good question. Trainings I'll attend are in December and January 2015
Until those trainings, everyday I have more and more questions.
I will not start business without relevant knowledge and a bit of experience.

You need to think about which markets you are going to aim for and then equip yourself accordingly. Most people start in the domestic market so a 150psi twin vac machine will do for that. You don't necessarily need a rotary, you can agitate perfectly well with one of these:

Or:

If you plan to go into LM cleaning then you will need a rotary, but I'd suggest you need some basic experience of carpet cleaning first and so perhaps stick to the domestic market where you will find a wide range of different carpets, soil conditions and stains to hone your skills once you've done the training.

There is no point in having a fleet of equipment if your phone isn't ringing and that is quite a task in this day and age, so I'd be working very hard on getting a wide range of marketing at work first.

A very reliable answer Simon. Thanks a lot.
It's good to hear advice from someone who works in this business for years. I'll target domestic carpet cleaning and as you said once I'll learn and earn experience I may expand for industrial cc.
I know from one course I've finished that marketing is a first thing you have to sort out because what's the point of having all wide of equipment if you have no customers at all!

Again let me finish few courses/trainings then I might see everything more sorted out.
