      ​@@remchaill9898 Personally, i believe you need to produce a stable (incrementing) cash flow, for at-least a year to be classed as having a good business model. If the business is not guaranteed to make money on a monthly basis, its not set-up, and needs more work. This business was not set up, because they couldn't guarantee in-come month after month. And the owner had already made himself more of a liability than an asset by hiring a manager. Pathetic, no entrepreneurial qualities at all. Doomed from the start.

      He'd be so boring (but effective) as a football manager as there'd never be a turnover of possession! (I know, so forced).

    I looked City TukTuks up and I saw a Liverpool Echo news story that said they were having to close the business because the Albert Dock had asked for very high rates to operate there. Seems like Nick was right, without a workable agreement, their business closed.
