Hi, looking to start my Own business and have around £8000 for a truck/van etc, what am I best to look at for the money I’ve got? Cheers

General arb work? Could be a bit more specific.

Best to stick it as a deposit on financing something newer. 8k for an arb tipper and you’ll be looking at something pretty tired I should think.

It’s a bad time to be buying a second hand truck/chipper/anything really - stuff that should be £2-3k is making £6-8k for some reason. 
I’d mirror the above, put your dosh down as a deposit against something newer if you can.

What do you want/need? Truck as in 3.5t tipper? Is it going to be towing a small chipper, big chipper, plant trailers? Single or crew cab?
