Hi all,
I have 6 years experience using CNC and manual machines and am looking to start my own precision engineering sub-contracting company and eventually produces my own product. I will be working on my own to start with.
I have a workshop sorted the size of a double garage complete with 3 phase and roller door.
I have formulated a list of local competitors and customers with a plan to send a package including covering letter, pamphlet, and a machined sample of something useful with my company name (e.g pen pot). I also have a contact to do a decent website.
I have allowed £13,000 to start up a used plant list:
Manual mill = 3000
Manual lathe = 2000
Pedestal drill = 300
Tapping machine = 350
Linisher = 150
Bandsaw = 130
Surface Table = 50
Bench grinder = 150
Misc. tools = 200
Compressor = 700
Enco mini CNC mill = 1500
CNC turret mill = 4500
I will be doing this on the side whilst doing my current job in order to build up a big enough customer base before going full time.
Does anyone have any advice on things I have missed please?
Thanks
