50k start a business

A mate of mine lost his job 12 months ago and got a redundancy of 35k , he was in the same position . He decided to set himself up in the taxi business. He bought a wheelchair accessible taxi and got his psv license. His initial outlay wasn't more than 15k as far as I remember. He focused getting his business cards out to the hospitals, mater, Beaumont, bon secours, the rehabilitation hospital in clontarf etc. mostly northside and he got his name out to the disabled community on the northside in general that if he was free he would pick them up. He said he is booked most days and receives alot of calls at night for work too,also he said most people are happy to have his service and tip him well too . Apparently there is a shortage of taxis for wheelchair users and he said the people he works for are very nice and pleasant and he gets to stay away from the drunken hoards and still make a comfortable living . Good Luck.
