martin_a Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Check and double check you've got everything ready. Proper business plan, full costings and why it is a goer (lack of competition etc) and you should be fine. good luck. m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schtuv Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 HSBC have a downloadable business plan/loan request on their website if memory serves ... if you can fill in all the boxes on that, then you'll be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRZ Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Thanks for the support, yeah got a proper business plan done with the help of a finance guru so it looks very impressive, I have had a lot of orders and enquirys from a local car club so i have put all of that in there. Their is a gap in the market as thier does nt appear to be many audio shops trading with clubs and cruise meetings and the profit on Audio is alot higher than Performance parts so i can afford to be quite cheap! I was considering starting a Performance garage but with the likes of Thor, Envy & Whifbitz their is no room for another Jap Car tuner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
