Start a "Mechanic" Business

      Ages ago I wrote about how someone could basically trade as a solicitor without actually having to go to Law School. All you would have to do is pick up all the non-regulated activities associated with a Lawyer and then be careful on the wording of your business card and advertising. For example, you could carry out conveyancing and IVA's without spending one day at Uni.

   I was thinking the other day about how the same could almost be said about being a mechanic. With a little practice and judicious wording you could trade without the 5 year apprenticeship. All you would need to do is focus in on the less technical aspects of the job. For example you could specialise in:

  • Oil changes
  • Tyre changes
  • Spray Painting
  • Valeting
  • Window Tinting
   If you are handy with cars and are looking for an earner on the side, this could be an easy way to make a little extra cash.

   You could start small by advertising on your local Gumtree for free and then expand if the level of business warrants it.
