I own a car recovery business, I`ve taken it over from my father. I`ve done it for 14 years.

Sometimes it can be rewarding, sometimes it can be a real headache.

I suppose I do actually sell myself, or at least my skills.

I'm a self-employed book-keeper/accountant and I also own/run a payroll company.

work in the family business which was set up by my g/fs partner in 1974. We deal with Swimming Pools/Saunas/Spas and all associated equipment, repairs, builds etc etc. The G/f is now the company secretary/shareholder/director, along with her mum.


Hard work in summer, and also at present it would seem - we are flat out with a 3 weekish waiting list for appointments Cool

No offence Jamie, but you neither own or run that business. You're 14.

I don't want you to think I'm picking on you though, I'm not. I just wish you wouldn't keep trying to pass yourself off as something you're not.

He clearly wants to speak to people who have experience of running their own businesses. You don't really fit that category do you.

Yes and no , in that I am a Locum chef , cus I work in so many different places , I can sort of wing it with the IR that I am self employed , just about ,

I did used to sell lots of Japanese electronics through my bloke in Japan , he;d charge me 12.5% on retail , and people would have the lastest greatest minidisc players walkmans etc,

my bloke from japan vanished however and only resurfaced recently, at which the market has had tons of blokes fill the void I used to occupy entirely.
