As per my previous post.... don't bother...



Too many places selling them already...

Too few power cuts (used to be a big problem - now it's not)

Too many hassles especially if you are planning to compete with established businesses... You need to find a USP (unique selling point)... but bear in mind that as soon as you do, you'll probably be copied....



That is only one of the myriad problems trying to run a business here... the bureaucracy being the major hurdle....

Think Groucho has given all the answers same as last thread.



I just cannot see the point of buying a gennie for the one power cut this year that could have caused a problem. The rest have been no more than about 4 hours and they are rare. We have survived 2.5 years without and most others are now following suit.



If you want to loose money then this is venture you should follow. But remember that if you are not prepared for the buraucracy you will be in the mental hospital as well as bankrupt.
