Associated running costs

[roosterbooster]

Hi crew,
I am looking into developing a scaffolding operation from the ground up and ask for those in the know to give me some advise on the associated running costs of a scaffold business. Insurance on the lorry and for each member of the workforce - does the business itself need public liability insurance cover? All help is thoroughly appreciated.

PL insurance
yard rent
diesel
lorry maintenance
gear
advertising
stationary
PPE
health and safety policy

and on and on and on

Scaffold yards

I believe there exists a requirement by the Health and Safety Act to have suitable and adequate storage facilities (yard) for the purpose of storage of materials. Is there any other statuary requirements I should take into consideration for the purpose of selecting a yard?

If renting, just what ever is available large enough to store what ever kit you have at the moment but keep security high on your list of priorities. If buying, the biggest badest site you can raise the capitol for as you will very quickly grow in to it. (but keep security blah)
