I've  finally set up my Omega Business
« on: 18 October 2008, 21:26:19 »
Well, after much deliberation, I have taken the plunge and formally setup a small business, to enable me to do my Omega Mobile Mechanics venture properly.

I am fully registered with HMRC, Inland revenue etc and hold full public liability insurance for the motor and mechanical trade.

I will only be doing this part time, so availability will be a little limited, but I plan to get as many bookings in as I can and be as flexible as possible.

Please check out my new website. Please bear in mind that is is only a first draft and is still being worked on. You may not see it yet while DNS propogates. The address is www.omegamechanic.co.uk

Please bear in mind that due to the costs of holding public liability insurance, business motor insurance and all of the other costs, my prices are not quite as low as they used to be - but I will always be more competetive than any dealer or garage.

Constructive feedback welcome on any areas - I'm not the most experienced with business issues, and I think I have things covered, but if there are any business guru's who would like to offer advice, please do :y

Thanks for reading  :y

Well done. Nice looking web site. You might want to check how you spelt "testimonials" but other than that it looks good to me. :y

Well done James, i'm not in business myself but one tip I learned from bosses i've worked for is to get the best accountant you can afford as a lot of the equipment , phone bills etc  you can  write  off to tax.

At the moment, I've just bought a read / reset device. (Kev, you can have yours back now ;D )

Although I must admit - Tech2 is very tempting, and would help business.

you might want to put charges for further distances (unless I missed that),
its one thing for a quick run to Swansea say :D but to Scotland would cost more.

James,

That's a nice looking clear and concise site.

Have you thought about covering other V6 and 2.0 Vauxhalls?

There's a wealth of C25XE's and X20XEV's fitted to various Vauxhall models and IMHO an Oil cooler on a V6 Calibra would be no more of a challenge than on an Omega.
