I recently took the plunge and started up on my own. I read all the info I could find on the internet regarding starting up a new business, and got all the relevant literature from local business groups. I thought I had taken everything into account, and felt pretty confident that I had thought of everything.
What I didn’t recon on, was the amount of spam phone calls I would receive! I’ve had people trying to sell me discount fuel (I only have one vehicle), new business fleet phone contracts (happy with my PAYG phone), numerous calls to advertise in ‘selected’ community publications, asking to sponsor various charitable events, offers to tender for ‘national profitable contracts’ (but won’t give details over the phone), I even had one company inviting me to join some kind of timeshare for private business jets!!! How do I include that on the customers invoice!
