on you finding that it's not worth it supplying spares. The money is in:

1 Importing tyres - closed market
2 Running people - if you've a good reputation

And that's about it unless you happen to be the TonyKart importer or JAG. General spares dealer online or otherwise forget it.

You'll need to turn over �240K plus per year, nearly �5000 per week to make lance corporal level 8 lower spine pay (�23,382 - you said you were in the army) assuming sensible overhead levels. To achieve that level of turnover/profitability you'll have to import direct from the factories in Italy and the far east - if they'll supply you. With the turnover mentioned above and factory/transport lead times you'll need 3 months worth of stock - �60,000. If you buy from UK wholesalers you'll not make a living unless you (in your customes eyes) overcharge them.

If you think I'm wrong then go ahead. With a bit of luck or a very good business model you'll just waste you time, not your hard earned money.
