Hello, I'm Jamie and I'm a 37 year old ADHD father of 2. With having ADHD and receiving no help since my diagnosis 29 years ago and then being left to deal with it alone, I have always struggled in life. I couldn't maintain friendships, couldn't maintain a standard job if difficulties arose with in it; and with being put down constantly by everyone, I hid myself away for years. But ever since meeting my partner 15 years ago and having 2 amazing autistic children, I couldn't be happier. The idea of owning my own business has always been on my mind but it wasn't until recently I was able to try and make this happen, especially with the idea of it being a family run business. The reason for this JustGiving is because it is extremely difficult for me to get a loan due to being a carer to my kids and not having the extra income needed to start.
Plans and Funds
The plan is to start with a dismantling parts business buying damaged/unwanted cars and dismantling them for the parts to be sold. Anything left will be disposed of correctly. The money from that business will provide a steady income for my family, while extra profits will potentially help fund another business which is a real dream of mine where we will get the rights to use old car shells and make them into modern cars with modern components and modern engines. But I'm happy just to create a business that will provide my family with income stability and still be able to help care for them. My partner will be involved in the financial side of things a long with taking care of sales.
Funds will be used for a deposit to obtain a premises, tools and equipment and to purchase our first vehicle. Funds will also go towards legal costs, licenses and insurances.
I tried to keep it short but thank you for reading, I appreciate each of you and I hope you can help make this a reality.
