Calling all Nappy Agents!!

[beinganevilstepmomsucks]

Has anyone been/is anyone a nappy agent? I'm thinking about becoming one and would seriously appreciate some honest advice/opinions.
pretty please

I am, but i'm not very good at it yet! Still getting up and running

thanks flame - do you have to sort out your own tax and everything?

lmao - not sold enough yet

I have been one for Lollipop - you can contact them at www.teamlollipop.co.uk. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend them as a company. The tax bit is easy - you need to keep your own books - but can buy a book/ledger which is easy to for about £12. You do need to think what you want out of it - whether it is just to spread the cloth word or whether you want to run a successful business - both are welcome at Lollipop but to run any business sucessfully you need to work hard. Lollipop has a dedicated advisor forum and training days which are very useful for setting up and running your business, getting advice and ideas - kind of like mumsnet!

There are other companies out there - but wouldn't be able to comment on how they work.

Good luck!

(for those Lollipopers trying to figure it out who I am - it's your ex-secret agent! )

how long have you done it for? am not really in it for the wonga (though it would be nice!), is there much demand where you are for nappies?

thanks cornflake - that's really helpful - was realy worried about the tax bit! did you make much money at all?

Is that me? I did it for about 2 years until mine were out of cloth - but now expecting no.3 so in hinsight maybe should have kept going

My turnover (sales) exceeded £20K per annum last financial year - but that is probably at the top end of the scale - also you need to remember that you only get a % of that. Demand around here was very high when I did it because there was no-one else doing it - so that may be worth looking into - you may have another agent/laundry company or supplier right on your doorstep!
