Need to sure you aint got competition though 
there's tooooo many near mine, usually £30 for a full valet too.
I reckon if you got the business (home visits for obvious overhead savings  ) you could make quite a wedge allow £1k capital for equip and some flyers, and yer laffin

Good idea in principal but there are loads of them about - soon as people hear there's money in something they go out and do it. If theres a market for it where you are then go for it. Advertise loads, maybe try some industrial estates, supermarkets etc

PC desktop support may be stressful, anyone can do it.
Its all about being prepared and knowing what you are doing, that and making sure shit doesnt blow up in the first place
