Me and my mate are about to start a garage in Sheffield.

Luckily he has most of the equipment (certainly enough to get us started), so we don't need to lay out any huge bits of capital. I'm keeping my job and working part time there (for free at first) and he will just take home minimal living expenses.

Just in the final stage of sorting the unit out (was hard to find and even harder to get sorted!)

Important things for us to have are:
- Knowledge
- Contacts
- Some assets
- Willing to work for next to nothing to get us going
- Willing to work all hours god sends!

Fingers crossed it takes off! We are in a strong position as we have not borrowed to startup.

Good luck at whatever you choose mate!
