Right now I am sat looking at a message that someone wants to put £5k in my bank so I can leave work and start my MSP full time...

SO, MSP Startups.. I have worked in IT in the manufacturing industry for a few years and have always seen glaring holes in how things have been done by companies before.. but the more I read from MSP pro's (such as you fine people) the more reservations I have around setting up a MSP at all due to the tiny success rate. Is it worth it? Initially I would be a one man band living on savings and a business loan, with a consultant at hand and an outsourced white-label 1st and 2nd Tier company taking care of most of the daily tickets. Recipe for disaster or worthwhile venture?

Leeds, UK

Anyway while people are at it.. I'm 26. If that helps at all.

Thanks! Here's a quick site I whipped up a few nights ago. Rip it to shreds I need feedback. www.randran.com

I can't but feel a but sorry for you AJ. Lots of abuse about the amount of crap you spout. I say go for it!

Any good?

@scottalanmiller Literally never been closer to selling up and going to live under a bridge. Might be a bit rough, but can't be half as mind numbing as this.

Reading up on ITIL v3 to improve Service Strategy where I am at the moment..

feasable

Spelling mistake - sorted. The main reason for not listing everything is lack of time. I set aside 2 hours to do the site and compacted it accordingly. As with all these things it's an ongoing process. The missing address is being sorted by the accountants to register the business at a dummy address on my behalf. Technically it is a company as I have 3 other consultants who will be working for me where needed with different skill sets.
The manufacturing stuff is coming later and is being put together by a professional site designer, rather than a 2 hour hash job. But in the mean time yes you're right i should emphasise that on this one too.

Flights from UK are a bit pricey..

Thanks Nic. Wasn't sure on the fade either. Seems to be hit and miss whether it is slow or not!
