    Is there an Aldi or Lidl nearby OP ? they pay very well but its hard work.
    And seem to have very few jobs. Most Aldi stores I've been to seem to only have one employee, who rushes away from stacking the shelves, over to the till as you're ready to pay. They all have about 5 tills, and only one is ever open.
    Wanted a job, now have one. :beer:

    Could you find somebody physically able, keen, but unable to do the admin side to enter into partnership with you to resurrect your previous business?

    You do the admin, they do the physical. Two winners.

    I wish I could, but my business was only small. I was a pet carer. There was very little admin :( I tried to keep it going after my accident, but the two people I took on to keep it running, ran it into the ground. My poor clients only stuck with my business because I was planning to go back. 8 months later & I can't afford my electric bike & can't walk more than a couple of miles on a good day (never mind cycle 15-20 miles a day on top of that!).

    I know I need to keep looking.. It's just so frustrating. I know I would be so good at these jobs that I am applying for but it rarely goes any further.
