buster 8789 64 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Get in touch with your local tax office and apply for a c.i.s card they will explain what you have to do from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Mate has his own agricultural fencing company, he has lots of specialist equipment including tractors, will be costly at first as you will need to compete with the big boys but everybody starts somewhere so best of luck matey........

fieldsportsman 107 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 what are you talking about mate, i asked a question Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lanesra 3,961 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 how old are you mate , reason i ask is wouldnt it be better to try gettin a job with someone already doin that type off work , after 18mths you will have a clearer idea off the job and materials you would need to go it alone , better gettin an insight into the work before gettin into debt without realisin the in's and out's off the job , goodluck mate .

the_stig 6,614 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) i think you`ll need some good work experiance ..i was 6 year in my trade before i took the plunge .. and i took a bit of work off the last company i worked for my first job was a 22k new housing development ... and never tell your rivals your prices Edited August 9, 2011 by the_stig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,226 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Best education you could get is working for someone already established. Learn the job and learn how to price right. Could take a couple of years but it wont be wasted time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyfr1968 772 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 As has been said above, it's vital to be able to price up a job correctly if you're going it alone, so get as much hands on experience as you can first. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 would you really need a tractor and post knocker It would be an idea if your going to do agric fencing and try make some brass, you wont be braying in 6" + strainer posts with lump hammer, if you do you wont be doing so many Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldNog 432 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 When i did countryside management and sparsholt the final BIG assisngment at the end of the second year was a mock up of a business plan as if we were creating our own business. It taught you how to go about setting up your own business, all of the ins and outs ect. Pretty useful if its what you fancy doing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
