If u could start ur own business,which field would u choose?

[laetitia85]

I am thinking of starting my own business instead of going back to work. not that this poll will influence my decision in anyway lol but i was just wondering what everyone would choose, if u were given the opportunity to start a business.

 

[laetitia85]

I voted advertising/marketing/communications. but I'm not sure where to start I need to look into it.

I did my foundation degree in Interior design and would have loved to have had my own interior design and architecture company so that ppl had lovely houses for cheaper lol!

Me and OH run our own plastering / building company but our dream business is to run our own campsite. Preferably somewhere like Cornwall. They are really expensive to buy already established and land is like gold dust. We have a mortgage so could sell our house to get set up but it would be a 'no going back' risk. If it all went tits up we would have to start over.

Never say never though

I already own my own web/graphics design business, although as I haven't worked for a year, I have some major work to do to get things moving again!
But I love animals and would love to do something with animals. I couldn't be a vet though as I am far to squeamish.

E commerce

But if money no object, I'd love to buy properties and rent them out

Its not kinda in that list lol... but ive said since i was 5 that ill have my own garage - and i plan to before my times up lol technically i guess im working towards that, as i do odd jobs on cars for people, mechanics and engineering is my passion really.

Few different businesses id like to own though, probably why my heads full of random knowledge and business plans!... aside from the garage, id fancy moving into the restraunt/nightclub business, theres a fair bit of money to be made in haulage/transport industry too... there is loads, but i doubt ill ever have the chance to.

Oh my god lou, you have just described mine and OH's dream to a tee. We could never afford an established site due to price so have been looking for some land and try and get things going that way Ideally we'd like to do a bit of VW hire along side it (although there are lots of companies doing this too now).

.....Race you......

Our idea is to buy up some old VW campers and hire them out as accomodation on the campsite. How awesome would that be? We thought about just having the shells and kitting them out for accomodation but I suppose some people would actually like to hire a working van they can sleep and cook in on the campsite then drive out and about during the day.

Don't go stealing our idea!!!!

lol cool mike would have to be abit quicker than he is with his own bodywork mind

coincidently, one of my mates wanted to do similar with me, shes now finishing her degree in interior design i think, and done fashion in college lol

[Craig]

^^^ tis good to see a female as enthusiastic about cars as most males

P.S. i do a bit of a detailing/valeting on the side aswell during summer, i just have an obsession with cleanliness sometimes lol dont think i could ever run a business solely on it though

Me and OH have seriously considered opening a reptile shop.

He would work in one for free I think if we didn't have such a big mortgage and 3 kids between us to support.

Him and DS are snake mad and we spend most of our free time in Reptile shops it would be his dream and TBH I would love it too!

 

[jenna]

Probably food, Id love to just make and sell cakes and stuff like that mmmm
