Lots of people use some of theeir property and buildings to run internet businesses stating a four or fivere working day turnaround for thinsgs like books , 1960's stuff and earlier cult things , Cd's records , cheap costume jewlery .
Before I got crippled for the second time we sdecided to make a business out of selling small mammals to the pet trade in bulk.
I started off with £600 and two female hamsters and one male sold locally to start with and aftr several years the wholesalers were sending their collectors to me .
Getting zapped in my day job killed it dead as I couldn't stand up for the best part of 18 months .
We had by then two shed full foam insulated with power and water , doublew width doors capable of taking in a fork lift truck and fuly floated smooth floors .
Toyed with the idea of a specialist book shop when I could eventually walk 50 mtrs but realized it was too much for me so sold up for much more than I ever expected and moved into a tiny bungalow in a city managed to get that in order then three years or so later sold up and moved to here in a place that had been unocupied for a couple of years .
Due to the money made from the sale of the earlier bungalow & our various busineses I was able to buy this place out righth and still have a decent wad of dosh in th bank for another internetbased busines.
We made a fair living out of that but I have finally retired to do my squarefoot gardening as & when the disabilities allow . All this time my wife has run a self employed internet based business for the last 12 years it gives us " the nice things " in life after the bills have been paid.
Out lay for an internet busines can be almost self financing after the first hundred pounds or so... there are many outlets where you can buy crates of goods at a time ..usually from house clearance people.
