WEBPAGE!

Amazing. So we have a webpage! Granted, the grammar and punctuation need my fine tooth-comb run over... but it's definitely a start. I also started writing the business plan, which is actually quite interesting to do. As we haven't started looking at figures yet, I can't actually do any maths regarding financial projections or even start up costs yet, but writing this plan will enable my dad to see further ahead into the future to see how far we have to go before this becomes a reality.

So It Begins...

I thought I'd record the day it came to my knowledge that my father is planning to start his own business.
His last day of work is next Friday; 18th March 2011. I'm under the impression he's going to continue job hunting and do odd jobs on the side to gain a client base and spread the word about his services.
Meanwhile I intend to be researching and learning everything about businesses I can, to be of as much assistance as possible!
I started my research this evening looking at how to start a small business, and I'm learning already. Just gaining an idea of the steps to take and priorities that should be kept in mind.

Who knows; one day he could be living it large as some private plumber, employing tens of people and enjoying a large client base who respect him and his work. I guess that's the dream.
So maybe when that day comes, this blog could be of use to someone also looking to start their own similar business. Until then... I hope this turns into something good!
