So, I'm due to start my maternity leave in 2 months and based on my salary when I return I will simply be going to work to pay for childcare.
I've been contemplating becoming a dog groomer for some time and thought this could be a perfect time to train - there are courses at my local college that are City and Guilds level 3 for around £3000.
I'd be looking at setting up from home (reduced overheads) and erecting a plastic summerhouse type outbuilding.
There is a demand in my area, I know myself from trying to find a groomer for my dog.
I guess what I'm asking is, what do I need to know? How expensive will the initial outlay be? Is it better to buy equipment second hand first? Do I need planning permission? The building wouldn't be a permanent structure (technically) but as its a "business"?
I know this is a very scrambled post, I'm just not sure where to start!
