I'm thinking self employment is my only option as no-one seems to want to employ me
£1200 deposit
Franchise cost me £30,000 in total but realistally needed £36k. £20k from bank and £16k from the father.
Reclaimed £6k back on VAT to pay the father.
Now have 2 large loans. :lol:
No income. :cry:
Grantham area is free and im always doing jobs there, So bloody far from my area in Notts. :roll:

What do you get for that £30k? and what are the conditions of keeping your franchise?

You get the 4 weeks training, fully kitted out van which is leesed of VW. Marquee and enough materials for 3 months (lasted me 1 months :lol: but i was jam packed busy.), 3 months help from a Chipsaway busines mentor, 3 lanuch promotions at supermarkets and 3x 10,000 leaflet drops and an advert for each.

Not sure if the prices have gone up.

Iv not done well since October from the WInter and my overheads are high compared to other. Most people put their own money in where i had no money. I have to do £2700 a month to cover overheads and since oct iv either done that or £1k short. In the summer i was doing £4k.

Depends on how you market yourself and i have started slap bag in the middle of the recession and im not established yet but getting there. :twisted:
