A man and van business is one of those useful things that most people need to use from time to time. It may be that they need to help people move large items from place to place, for example, if someone is buying a piece of second hand furniture from another person but has no way of transporting it, or it might be doing odd jobs which require the use of a van, such as work in the house or garden and then taking rubbish away to be disposed of.
If you are thinking about starting a man and van business of your own, it can be a great way to earn yourself some money, be your own boss and set your own hours. But before you start up, here are some things to think about…
Getting a Van – Of course the only thing you really need to start a man and van business is a van. If you don’t already have one, look into the costs of getting a van and running one.

Heavy Lifting and Physical Labour – Be aware that doing this job requires you to be physically fit, as there is often a lot of heavy lifting and intense physical labour involved, so make sure that you are able to do it.
Getting Work – To be able to make sure that your man and van business pays the bills you need to be able to get work, so you need to make people aware of your business and make it clear what you do.
