I've recently come into some money and for health reasons I need to give up my current job.

Musing with friends what I could do to become self sufficient by using my 100k wisely so I don't have to rush out and find another job.

So, if you had the time, money and the skills, what business would you start that you reckon has a fair chance of success in the next few years?

That's interesting, I was thinking about event and festival equipment hire the other day.

I found a helpful list of vc firms when I was researching ways to fund a small business upgrade. It saved me hours of digging and connected me with active investors. For your buy-and-modernise plan, that resource could be a real time-saver.
