    • Spencer's Landscaping Services

      Apr 2010 - Oct 2014
      Owner

      Whilst I was at school, I saw there was an opportunity to offer landscaping services to local holiday homeowners. I took out a loan to buy an industrial ride-on lawnmower and other equipment, and ran the business until I went to University. To run the business:• I persuaded a Credit Union to loan me €3,000 to purchase equipment. Although it was a three-year loan, I used the revenue to repay the loan at the end of year one.• I solicited and secured 13 accounts, earning revenues of over €3,500 annually.• Just before starting university, I sold the business, equipment and goodwill, which helped fund my university program. عرض أقل
