Default Handyman Services?????

Hi, Does anyone know if this would be a worthwhile venture in Oz?

And if it is does anyone know of what type of qualifications would be needed to do the job (General Handyman type work).

Thanks in advance,

Mark.

I know in Perth there is a handyman franchise that go around in little vans so maybe there is something similar on the gold coast.

don't think so.. you've only got to open the "quest" papers here (In Brisbane and surrounds) .. there's lots of small adds for handymen services , they are two a penny here.

On a lighter note though, I'm still mulling over naked men "ironers" type of business. ( not me , Dagboy's hubby) .. I'm wondering if I could branch out and be a pimp, an ironing service where the men will do your ironing naked.. must be money in that

cheers
