hello all arb talkers. I would like some advice i have recently set up my business i am self employed and currently subbie for a few firms and do my own work *when it comes in. I am hoping that my own work will increase and become my main source of income. I have a climbing kit and a top handle and small ground saw. full ppe I would like some advice on what to aquire next i.e. tipper and chipper etc etc I dont have much money to play with for this and i would prefer massively to save hard and then buy out right or a v good finance deal. I have considered a small van and small chipper *gravity fed one for example. to use this for a while then when i make money out of it sell it on for a bigger chipper and van. what are your thoughts experiences advice. i want to hear it all. so its over to you.

Every body gets it at some point. You are in 1 piece at the end of the day that's a win and the job still was completed even bigger win. I believe that when you get a wobbly like some one said its intuition/6th sense.

i like the idea of them although havent had the chance to try them for myself but something someone else said they used it for was with a newbie having a headset with no microphone and you can speak to them while they had the ear defenders on. again ive never tried them but the idea seemed like a good one

Ok Horatio that's fair. I completely agree no one should divulge such information of what they charge. So I'll finish this post with wishing you all the best for the future.
-
cheers Stephen. I am now aiming for that. :-D

hi Horatio I know how I price but I got some advice from people and it confirms what I was doing but my final numbers need a slight tweek. And my reasons for starting a business are my own.

Cheers yorkshireman I'll look over my costs

Ok guys can you dispense some advice to a self employed person starting out I'm in Suffolk for the regional variation. But I honestly don't know what to charge I've worked out a rate which I think is reasonable and provides me with enough. how do you work it out? I'm asking because I want to be in the arb business for a long time. So im all ears if people prefer to pm please do. Thanking you in advance Ian C

he will get a call in the morning from those recomendations and thank you to all that pmd me. the "keep it in house" theory came around from a post on the employment forum where a guy was offering a man 7.5t and chipper i think 260 a day and everyone was like woooah thats too cheap and he said yeah but its TRADE price. and "do a good turn everyday" lets see if anybody recognises that last line

i looked at hss but i thought i could find it cheaper on here and keep the money in our *all of arbtalk included* pockets
