What you need is capital to get you through the first year. Do the job right & you'll get referrals. Bend over backwards to make your customers happy. But trust me on this one, if you provide a crap service & fob people off, you'll go bust guaranteed!

Too many people have had there fingers burned by people who claim to be experts but in actual fact know f*** all!

I know a guy who "claims" to be a builder but is installing Sat dishes for ex-pats (never Spanish) who seems to have to provide a second visit to put it right.
