So, a friend and I are planning on starting up a sort of call-out PC repair business, so what we're in need of is advice Since several of us TFers do this full-time, I believe, I hope you'd be happy to give us some ^_^ Like, what sort of starting budget will be required, what stuff we'll need (like spare parts), how to advertise, just general advice, etc.
Firstly, this is largely for us to gain experience and a bit of money.
Prices, we're thinking of a £20 callout charge, which includes the first hour, then another £20 for the next hour.
Advertising, we'll have a website (hosted at home, advantage of having a geek mother), possibly newspaper and yellow pages. Probably not flyers and such.
Anyway. Please gimme a bit of help
Edit: We're also in need of a name. Should we go for something explanatory like 'Mitchell & Kelly PC Repairs' (our surnames), or something more vague but cool-sounding like 'Longcat Repairs' (yes referencing the meme)?
Edit2: Oh and we're gonna need some kind of liability insurance, anyone know how to get that?
