This forum is a great idea and just what I've been looking for from this site for a while!
I'm going to be doing a log on my successes when it comes to my finances, the first one on this forum!
I'm 22, and I own a business with my Dad. It's been running for 4 years now, we've had an o.k level of success, our most recent year, we will have turned over approx £90k ($140,000) and have cash reserves of around £15k approx. With the nature of our business our layout is very low.
I've had my share of problems in my past, got myself into debt, I currently owe nothing to anyone, the business has no debts either.
I've worked a few jobs previously, telesales, fitness, laboring.
Our business is strictly b2b, we offer a service to SME's which large companies usually employ full time. We also undertake contract works for larger companies and offer training services.
I'm not going to disclose the exact nature of my business or where its based or the exact contract values I want to keep a level of anonymity which I always have with SS, I will provide a brief financial overview (roughly how much I'm making.) And how my business is doing day to day.
Aims by September 2015
I ain't having no ego sh1t on here, you will be ignored. I want guidance off people who may be ahead of me career wise and offer advice to people who may not be at the point I am.
