Remember when you first started your business? well its time to do it again unfortunately, the only thing you got going for you is you will have all the equipment built up so no need to worry there. Just a case of getting your name around and advertising to build up a client base.

It's a chance to do it again without making the same mistakes.

[treesnatcher]

how far are you wanting to move?

is it possible to keep your better existing customers whilst you establish yourself in the new area?

it took me about 18 months but i only moved 20 miles.

303 miles so bit of a distance

I did it a couple of years ago, moved from Oxford to Chesterfield. It ain't easy leaving an existing business that makes you a living, find yourself Subbie work, get to know as many people as you can, takes the burden off finding your own work. It builds up slowly. Good luck

Good luck with the move Jules,i'm sure everything will go to plan.

Hope the girls are well.

All the best. Tony:thumbup1

If you need electric / phone etc. Do not expect the utilities to install any services in anything like a reasonable time, we had 8 weeks for a phone line, 6 weeks for electric (both from a pole 100 yds away)
