[darmstadt]

How about this one, tax free as well

[norrahe]

My plan B i on hold for a while, may be moving out of the country and will look to set up there.


If I stay in this country then need to find a suitable business premises.

and it's not IT of course

Stayed at a B&B on the Dorset coast this summer. Very nice place. The couple were both IT consultants who where originally in London who sold up to buy the B&B. They operated at 3/4 full (cos they didn't want to over work) for 8 months of the year, taking the rest off... sounded very nice.

The limo driver at BA was ex IT. I had a good chat with him thanks to a BA flight arriving two hours late at Heathrow ( 1am) (Easyjet wouldn’t have facilitated that!)

A few B&Bs the same. I have two plan Bs on the go, both non IT but I can't say what because it is a niche market.

They are all the same type of organisation...

I used to set them up when I was in contracts in other parts of the country - gave me something to do in the evenings.....

PM if you're that interested....

NOT IT - in fact it couldn't be further from IT!!!

PM sent.

Shh!



Congrats.

Are you able to share details of the concerns you sold, if not the current one?

Did plan b, sold it just over a year ago as a business for a wedge of cash.

Planning plan c, but really struggling this time to come up with a viable business.

[Lockhouse]

Just starting a non-IT plan B as we speak...

[Clippy]

Was there something in the news recently that inspired you?

Shh!

Yep.....

Done it twice before and sold both concerns in other parts of the country...

Decided to startup again.....

Going live Dec 1st...

I know some on here already have Plan B's but, I believe, most of those are also in IT.

We regularly sound the death knell for UK IT - so has anyone considered setting up a non-IT Plan B?

After several months on the bench am seriously considering it.

I have plans B and C running alongside my plan A, they aren't big revenue streams but might provide a safety net if I get fed up with this malarky.

I would love to set up a non-IT plan B, but IT is the only thing I'm any good at !

I always fancied being a postie, but I suspect that there are far fewer scantily clad hot lonely housewives in the real world than in my imagination
