Thumbs up :: Business idea :: Will it Work ?

Hi

Planning to move to Majorca and planning early retirement , However must be careful that boredom doesnt take hold !!

So whilst spending many a evening thinking of various new business ideas , which will occupy me only part time ! ( after all all work ,and no play is crap lol ) Anyways i think i have got the perfect new business !

I dont know if this ones been done yet ? And maybe theres not a demand for it ? But i will hit you with it and see if you think its worth the initial set up costs ?

Plus Points;
Initial Set Up costs would be approx £ 120 ( for base materials and secondhand CD player )

Working Hours would be on Sunny days only when you feel like it !

Customers would be females only , although men could be done but the charge would need to be trebled lol


Minus Points;
May get a few black eyes from angry Husbands
may get sunstroke from being with the sun on your back all day !


Running Costs and profit loss Budget prediction..

25 customers a day at £ 3 each = £ 75

costs 25 x customer in materials = £ 10

Profit estimated per day (cash sales) = £65



The Business ;

Very Often on Beaches many females who may be widowed or alone for a host of reasons ! Want to ensure they dont burn , so they put cream on obviously !!
Now how do they put Sun oil on there backs ? this is the Niche market that "BigPetes Oilling services Ltd" Aims to Fill ...!!!

A Nice comfy Lilo ontop of a Sunbed for the Customer to lay on for a Full all over Sun Oilling Session . For £ 3 ...
Based at the Top of the Beach so new arrivers can get Oilled up good and proper prior to settling on the Beach !

The Business could be Franchised and set up Worldwide all following the same theme ! . BigPete lookalikes with matching Lilos and sunbeds "The Beach Boys" playing in the background while you get Oilled Up on any Beach in the world !

Now is that a winner or Not ?

With some of the bodies on the beach XXXXL size, you may have to rethink the amount of oil you will need. ;-) Perhaps charge by the square mtr.

I hear that there is an old sheep dip for sale at a very good price in the Bakewell area.
Once purchased and installed at the top of the beach, this would save time and could maybe more than treble the number of customers per day
Plus there would never be the need to actually touch the less than perfect bodies. (you could allways revert to the "hands on" service when the Opportunity arose)

Your only other cost would be the big stick with which you would need to push them under with.

The downside Pete, is if the women are gorgeous they will want an equally gorgeous guy to put the oil and massage it in for them.........if you don't fit in that criteria there are probably a few desperate women who may enjoy the attention.

Another business idea, there are alot of single women who also want no strings sex with a handsome guy. There are approx 40,000 women, single or otherwise who go to the caribean for plenty of sex and pay for it. So there are plenty of happy guys who have plenty of sex also without strings attached. Looking at some of the women, I saw on a documentary, probably a relief too for some of the guys that they don't want a committment..

So, your master plan:-

1) Find a woman that looks lonely

2) Tell her your called BIG Pete & ask her to lie on your bed while you put some protection on.

3) Take your tube in hand and squeeze out a few ounces of your cream

4) Rub your cream onto her naked skin

4) Ask her for 3 quid?

Go for it!!

No, that's too rude, even for me!!

There you are see even mrs jdr realises its a good service !!


So any of you guys want to buy a protected Franchise area ?

£ 200 per Beach area , and you get to use the Corporate "BigPetes Oilling Station" Posters and corporate logo ..



As Majorca is mine obviously

This time next year we could all be millionares
