I'm off ski ! Retiring to foreign lands

[Masood]

i did wonder that but I don't know how much it would be worth or indeed if it would be worth the hassle. It is a pain not having someone I trust to pass my customers onto. I've got quite a few regulars and a lucrative farm contract buts it's based on personal relationships. I've run the company to get a decent wage lifestyle balance so it's not massive (just shy of VAT threshold) turnover.

yes looking at the pilot thing for some time now, have you watched 'worse place to be a pilot' on channel 4? It's about load of expats learning to fly in Indonesia . One dude was a plumber from England who soLd up and was living it up.

I saw someone advertising his business for sale in the local merchants. He had a few years' accounts showing decent turnover, all his contacts and some stock. No tools, and was looking for around £25K. Reasonable lump sum to take with you. Your accountant should be able to help with valuation, anything would be better than nothing!

Food for for thought that is mate, I'll mention it to him and see what he thinks. I'd be happy with £5k! Lol, saying that I suppose if I added my spares and fittings up they'd be worth a couple of grand minimum.

No, Thailand but got friends in KL so thought about popping in. Wouldn't mind going to an island if I can persuade the daughter (11yo).

 

[iain85]

Nice one, where in Thailand are you headed? If you've got some spare time and you want some chilled beach time with mind blowing snorkelling head over to perhentihian or tioman Islands in the east of Malaysia. I'd imagine your daughter would love it!

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Yeah, Tioman is great. I went in 95. Great days.

 

[Ermintrude]

Good luck mate. Well done. Give u £10 for all your gear ?

A few years back, a mate of mine went with one of the "local ladies," she took Wayne back to her place for what he thought would be a night of paid passion.
She got out a razor and foam, then shaved his arse.
