    Honestly though Wildie. All the luck in the world to you. It's a big thing to start your own business and you need the balls to do it <ok>

    Try to really understand your costs, in depth, so you can focus on keeping your costs as low as practical, and focus effort on product lines / services where your margin is best, even if you need to still provide others as the overall package
    Give great customer service, particularly if your challenging existing suppliers/providers
    Watch your cash flow, it's important
    Keep your eye out for business support for small businesses, there's sometimes good free resources and assistance

    ...oh and please sell the Allams some decent scanners for the KC

    Good luck

    He can't even see his feet. He's got no chance of seeing his back.

    This is so true
    Unless it's really needed leave factoring well alone.

    Good luck fella....
    Do your marketing, know your customers and offer competitive introduction prices to get your foot in the door. Reduce stock by introducing JIT (assuming you don't use it already)
    Remember: It takes a long time to create a good relationship with a customer, but a second to lose one...
    As Philip Kotler once said...Products and services are never bought, they are sold...
