If you were fortunate enough to have between 10 and 15k to invest in your " business " what would you do with it ???

Ive been looking around for different ideas but unsure ?

I suppose I could buy a van for about 6k ish then employ a canvasser ?

Build the business in other areas of the cleaning industry ?

 
Get a purefreedom van mount /emoticons/smile.png and thats it... Cos no point in spending big if u havent got a big customer base,,, u can hace a fancy van etc but if u got a small riund with not much work then the 1st priority would be to get customers and tgen invest i could get a pure freedom van mount now if i want but not until im earning a mininum of 2k per month

 
You could give me your left over lolly /emoticons/tongue.png xx

Jokin! /emoticons/tongue.png

I would buy a van, some equipment and most importantly, advertisment!

Get the van & gear, buy a round or pay a canvasser, get some work done.
 
Do you need to put it back into the business, is so what is the reason – tax, replacement of current equipment, expansion?

Why not keep the money, that’s what you are working for? (Buy a Motorbike)

Buy a small commercial unit, offset tax for the next several years and use it as a pension plan for when you retire.

Nice problem to have. /emoticons/smile.png

Probably stick it in the account and look at building it up to £15-20 k as its easier to save when there's something to build on

 
Yeah id get nice new van, equipment to do other types of cleaning work and maybe buy an add on to your existing round bud

Ive been looking at wheelie bin cleaning and drain cleaning.Found a company the offer drain cleaning courses, might go for it,

 
Id put the money on a rental property. Look to buy the cheapest house on a sort after area. Never go wrong with brinks and mortar. Im in a different position to you guys no residual income. Also been considering getting a nail bar in a nice part of town, just have people run it for me. Who knows..........

I wouldnt even mind so much if it didnt make me money as long as it didnt cost me money, also looked at those afro hair shops that sell fake hair. Location wise the only place to be is London.
