Plus franchise costs if you use RED
Plus lease of a car if you use Red (suprisingly enough you lease the car from Red)

It would take a long time to fill your books with pupils, theres alot of instructors around with years of experience so it would be hard to break into the circle

The general advice I give on the small biz board is that you need to have cash reserves or a second income stream if you wish to be self employed. It isn't ideal to go self employed if you are in debt. This is because the income level can be erratic and costs may increase, especially when you are establishing yourself in the first year.

If you have a debt management plan you would be more secure earning say £15K a year in a job than being self employed and earning £10K one year and £30K the next, especially when it only takes a couple of weeks of snow or illness to completely halt your income.

BTW you do have my sympathies I know finding a job in the current climate is easier said than done - I hope I don't come across as being flippant - but the last thing someone in debt needs is more debt.
