    No
    i think you would have to be up there with the likes of gocompare etc to even make people think about using a comparison site for stuff like turf , garden supplies etc , i think most people use their local suppliers because they know the quality they are going to get .people who don't may use ebay .
    people know in their area who supplies services , you see skip lorries around , see ads in the local papers , this is what you would be competing against

    With the main income source I have multiple options either charge a monthly fee to clients to be on the website. Or a One off fee to them.

    Or finally stick a small margin on the products.

    Or Advertising on the site i.e. pay per clicks and other stuff
    That is charging customers no matter which way you look at it.

    Exactly your correct that is why im considering taking a few internships fresh from uni or college if they have done computer sciences or like thus cheap labour but they are getting work experience the way you can keep everything up to date is have personal account managers for firms is a possibility.

    I am looking at starting regional then if proves successful i will then look at rapid expansion i am in the preliminary stages to look for investment and getting it patented basically I am trying to see peoples thoughts on this before I venture into the big business world

    I find this employer's attitude is disgusting to be frank. Calling graduates "cheap labour". Maybe the OP could get foreign graduates they might be even cheaper and be willing to work for even less. Why would any graduate want to work for a firm with attitudes like this?
