Re: Ideas for a small business?
I completely agree, running a cafe can be a real headache with all the regulations and health inspections. It’s a lot of work and the margins are often pretty slim. A garden centre sounds like a much more manageable option, especially if you can tap into local demand for flowers and plants. Funeral flowers and deliveries could definitely help boost income, but I can see how the costs could still add up quickly with a physical shop. It's tricky finding a balance between a good idea and the financial viability, especially with overhead costs spiraling.Scud wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 1:48 pm I think a cafe would be a right pain in the arse with food safety regs, we deal with councils just as non-food market traders, they are useless pains in the arse.
There’s big money in flowers and plants, maybe a small local garden centre style shop? You’d need to be doing local deliveries and funeral flowers too though, we’ve looked at opening a premises but the costs just spiral and I think you’d be needing more than £150/day. If you're looking for a way to earn some extra cash without such overhead, have you considered trying your luck on platforms like https://plinkogambling.org? It's a fun way to unwind and potentially boost your earnings with the best conditions for play.

Growing gourmet mushrooms on a medium scale?
I know Clarkson failed but I don't think he was really trying.

There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

I know a lad that does this, he was selling them on one of the markets we work. He supplies some local restaurants too. He recently got into supplying a couple of nice farm shops which are taking such a large amount he doesn’t have the stock to do the markets now.MyLittleStudPony wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2024 9:38 pm Growing gourmet mushrooms on a medium scale?

I believe he has them growing in a couple of shipping containers, not sure of the set up but must be fairly simple to sort.
