So basically, you wish to start up your own business as a carpet cleaner to run alongside window cleaning. However funds are extremely limited and income from window cleaning is not good. In other words, you have no money, but can find up to £1,000 to fund starting the carpet cleaning.
Well I could explain how I started with absolutely no money after leaving the army, in fact I left with a hire purchase debt. No gratuity and had the expense of moving into a rented house.
I could tell you how I got going, but it's a long miserable story and certainly not relevant today, as the things I did simply do not work as well as they did 35 years ago. Today there are pc's, the internet, mobile phones, etc, all of which didn't exist in those days.
However one thing I had which got me through and finally started the phone ringing after the first two years, and what could be your biggest asset, is 'Determination'. The will not just to succeed but more importantly, not to be beaten!
As they say " Where there's a will, there's a way."
Good luck.
Dave.
