It's fucking frighteningly casual advice at best. Fact of the matter is if Tom's to get it off the ground then he's going to need funds, and that means he's going to need some pretty robust answers to the types of points that have been raised when he goes knocking on the bank's door. Field of Dreams platitudes alone are gonna get the lad laughed out of any business meeting and even Parky would have to accept that. I run my own business what made it work wasn't anything to do with business things it was all to do with that I wanted to do it. That has to be in place first. All the other stuff although important is secondary. IMHO. I also sometimes get paid to go and talk to other companies in my field on where they could improve. There is a lot of commonsensical advice in this thread I agree. But finally in my experience what it will stand and fall on is Tom's desire to do it. What is it and who gave you the finances to start it without you showing them some sort of business plan? I went to the bank with 4 contracts signed in my hand worth £38,000 and asked if I could open a business account. Don't you see that puts you in a slightly different position to Tom then? Fuck me gently! The guy is talking about starting off by investing in high street premises ffs.

You sound like you know your stuff tbh. If that's all true then it sounds like a guitar shop wins hands down over a bricks and mortar record shop. If the idea of a record shop is more about indulging a hobby then it sounds like your guitar business could pretty much subsidise a specialist record sales add-on, as part of the overall shopping experience

Tom man, I don't think anyones having a pop at your ambition. At the very least the posts which are sounding a word of caution are highlighting the sorts of questions your potential creditors would be asking you before extending finance. Forewarned is forearmed marra, so it's all good. Yeh it's going to require a fuckload of planning. I can imagine it taking a couple of years to organize and still it might result in nothing but it's worth trying. Business has very little to do with planning if it had anything to do with planning then all these cunts with Business Admin degrees would be millionaires instead of cunts which is what they are...... Take your dream and try it. There is always a way..... Yes but significantly, unless he's got his own finances in place (which he hasn't) then he's going to need to present some sort of plan to get finance. So everything that's been mentioned is worth bearing in mind.

I knew it was you all along!

Would even have brought a smile to Tim Tyler's* face *(or 'Timm Tahler' to Isegrim ffs!!)

This absolutely pissed all over 'Silas' tbh.

vrrrrvrrvrvrrrrrrRRRrrrmmmmm!!!!!

foot down=5 second penalty

For a summer holidays kids programme. What summer holiday TV was all about tbh

"denied!"

Raging here in Mcr today. Raging. I had to take the day off after lunchtime as I was in no fit state to returnto my desk.

Desperately, desperately sad.

Well said, that man!

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

Love the way he dumped Big Suze to look for someone more subservient on the internet.

QFT. Things like that make the whole Nancy/Big Suze debate a joke. Big Suze every single tug tbh. But Nancy likes people to black themselves up while shagging her and pretending she's their mam. J69 and Alex would just be sat watching that scene with blank expressions. The pair of vinegar tits.

"Mark, if I have to fuck you to fuck her, then I will. So be careful where you stand...ok?"

Pretty sure it was the same lad from the first series an all. Spotters badge tbh

Oh aye, student areas are chocka, but venture into town at your peril. I was at Bodington Hall fwiw and the fanny barometer was clearly indicating 'minging'. Boddy's got first years only man Manc, what are you playing at?! The best place is still Hyde Park iyam, as the weather gets hotter and the skirts get shorter I'll see if I can't get regular updates from the blart-field. Anyone else getting the image of Fish turning pink in the sun, wandering around with his camera phone. 'Red snapper' tbh.

Sounds like my kind of library tbh.

Get the fuck in tbh. That'll do me too. Wor lass is out an all, meaning I can watch it in fucking peace. Bonus.
