Um, I'd prolly start by talking to a bank new business adviser, get the financial side sorted. Then get yourself an accountant to handle tax, and sort out the best ways to avoid it.

Ah right. Well, one of my mates runs his own network consultancy. He's bringing home £60K/year at the moment at 24 yrs. Owning your own business is definitely the way forward!

Very true mate !

Parents own an apartment in Tenerife they rent out, aswell as a few others in Tenerife. Business has been ticking over since 1988.

I will expand and find more propertys within Tenerife, Portugal, Lanzarote etc etc

Then get into Flights and produce a website (in progress as we speak) where its updated as the flights leave etc with prices.

Also Travel Insurance.
