Hi and thank you for reading this, my name is Andy and I am 46 yo, all my working life I have thought about having my own company, Run a different way, I have been cleaning  for 27 years professionally for everything from 5 star hotels, to nursing homes, industrial, sports venues, to entertainment venues, becoming supervisor / manger........ But still had a dream.

Well I was working  6 days a week, 50 hours sometimes for years making sure the job was right, and an odd thing happened...my wife stopped working in the franchise she was running, and went back into full time work, and said to me its now or never if you want to have a go!!!! 

Iv been running for five months, mainly domestic, I have lots of regulars and everyone is happy, I work a part time job up at 4am get to work by 5.54am, and by 10;30am I am out in my car off doing my jobs for my little business. 

( its called Mr Pips cleaning services named after my late dog who died just before)

 I am in need of getting a H,W,E, hot water extract commercial carpet cleaner, Iv given this my all everything I have I have no more money to put in, I work as hard as I can and money is tight.

I cant get a lone it would not be a smart thing to do as cleaning is a slow builder, once your known, jobs will come in and at the moment doing something to incur more debt would sink the boat.

Having recently lost a big job the would of given me more jobs...in the long term I realize just how  desperate a H,W,E is needed, iv sold thing, I'm trying to get extra work in all I need is £1500 to get the kit, it has to be a model similar to the picture as it needs to fit in a car, yeah still no van, as I said I had one shot at this so very unplanned, but if life gives you that one shot...you best try hay.

Please if you can help you would be helping more than just my dream.

Thank you for reading
