You’ll need:A van of your choice up to 5 years max. These vans do galactic mileage, so choose carefully, and make sure it’s a TD. Get one in white as it’s more appealing to companies. Don’t put any companies name on it as they’ll expect you to run exclusively for them, and will dump you when it’s quiet meaning you’ll struggle to attract other companies.
A phone with answering service on whatever contract you have.
A laptop with mobile internet. (Use free wi-fi wherever possible.)
GIT insurance.
Public liability insurance of upwards of £1m
A bloody good sat nav.
And that’s about it.
Oh, and good luck, believe me you’ll need it.
Ken.
Not forgetting enough funding to cover 3 months + money for running costs and wages.
and a bloody good credit checking service.
