How hard is the CPC license and what sort of time frame does it usually take to complete ■■
I am also looking into starting up a small operation and maybe applying for my O license through somebody else’s CPC. After reading through this thread i noticed the start up finance of £6,200, is this also applicable if i only require one 18 tonner on a long-term rental, untill i have gained enough knowledge and my own cpc to maybe purchase my own vehicle?
The rental company will also cover all maintenance costs and servicing. So will i need to provide a garage too ?

Thanks!!
a lot of rental companies will want to see your books before renting to a new outfit. they will want to know how you are going to pay for it if it will be a long time/ lease rental (sorry cant think of the right word for it at the mo) so you might find difficulty in this.
i know this as i have asked at a few places and they have all said the same to me, unless someone knows where you can get a rental as a new starter?

That depends on how much you already know about road transport and how quickly you are able to learn things. You can do a one week course with the exam at the end and if you’re lucky you’ll pass it. I did mine by buying a book and reading it from cover to cover during about 6 months worth of 45 minute breaks and then paying £120 to sit the exam. It took a little longer but it cost a lot less.
