From: Nicholas Robus
Owner and Director of Taxi - Time Ltd.
Dear Friend¸
My Name is Nicholas Robus. And I Own Taxi - Time Ltd. Taxi - Time is a small family run business that operates in and around a small town in East Sussex called Rye. Wow, whoopee doo, and what's so special about that I hear you cry.
Well my little family run Taxi Company has grown rapidly in the last 18 Months from just me and my second hand car bought on eBay for £1500 to a business that has a gross turnover of over £300,000.00 a year and its still growing. And I have managed to do this during the worst recession in 60 years. Not only that but it was so easy I could do it again in any small town or village in the country and if I did I could do it in half the time following a set of simple rules.
You probably already have 90% of the stuff you need to start this business.
The Taxi & Private Hire start up guide.
A couple of years ago I was in a different place altogether. Now you have probably heard or read this a hundred times on other web sites or sales spiel for get rich quick schemes, but in my case its true.
I was BROKE! And I mean broke, Me my beautiful girlfriend and our lovely daughters were so skint that every meal was something and rice, we just about had enough money to pay the mortgage and eat if we were very very careful with our cash, and it was my fault. I had just closed my previous business, due to a slump in sales and a bad location, it was costing more money to keep my little model shop open then we were making.
I had sunk everything I had into it, I was up to my neck in debt and my girlfriend was supporting all three of us and the shop on a low paid job as a care worker. Then my Dad threw me a life line, and for that I will be eternally grateful.
Dad had a Taxi business, he had started it after he was forced to close his own cosmetics shop some 20 years before on the advice of the bailiff that had come to reposes his stock and fittings.
You would have thought I would have learned from his mistakes eh. But we never used to get on much and hardly ever spoke about that sort of stuff so I thought I could ignore his advice, do what he had failed to do and I would be able to say "told you so" when my little shop was a roaring success.
Guess what
Dad was the one who could have said I told you so, But he didn't, He gave me a little bit of advice, and this time I listened and I listened good. That advice was "Get your Taxi Licence son"
"I am considering setting up a Private Hire business and bought Nick's guide to give me a better insight and to benefit from Nick's knowledge and experience. It made very interesting reading and did what it said on the tin! My thought process is much clearer as a result and I would recommend the guide to anybody else considering starting out in the taxi business."

Get my Taxi Trade Tips. Its free.
I had grown up all my life saying I don't want to follow in my Dads footsteps and become a Taxi Driver but I had no choice, I was Broke, I couldn't get a job because I had no references, I was stuffed.
Dad was mortgage free, cash rich and had 12 weeks holiday a year
So I bit the bullet. I got my Hackney Carriage Licence.
Dad lent me the money to buy A cheap car on eBay and one Friday afternoon I started work, I remember thinking I was going to be bored stiff sat on the taxi rank for hours on end between jobs with nothing to do, so I bought a couple book along. "Felix Dennis. How to get rich" and "Duncan Banatyne. Any One Can Do it" (Both highly recommended).
Then it happened. I got my first job. I'd been there 10 minuets, I didn't even have time to drink half my cup of tea, or read the preface.
I earned £8.00 the bloke said keep the change, Bonus, as soon as I got back I got another job on old dear going home with her shopping, I helped her in with her bags, "that's £3.50 please" I said, "here you go luv" she said giving me a fiver, "keep the change". I had been running my new business for 20 minuets and I had made £15.00, if it carried on like that I would be on about £45.00 and hour. Guess what, it did, I stayed at work till 4am Saturday morning, at 10:30pm the meter rate changed to time and a half and I was making
around £67.50 an hour and after 1am it went up again to double time. I was so busy I had lost count of what I had taken and I was buzzing from the thrill of making so much cash in such a short space of time. When I got home my girlfriend was still awake, watching late night films with a friend.
When we added up what I had taken we were in shock. I had made £467.37 and I had spent £50 on Diesel leaving us with £417.37 for one nights work. I had enough to pay the mortgage for a month, feed us all, pay the bills and start paying off my debts. Saturday night I did it all again.
I slept all day Sunday and Monday I treated my self to a day of flying my model gliders at the Long Man of Wilmington On Tuesday I went to Fairlight glen to fly my gliders again and went back on Wednesday and Thursday too. For the next few months I just worked Friday and Saturday nights and had the rest of the week off, It was bliss.
Then I got serious, I now have 6 vehicles, 9 drivers and 3 other staff who deal with admin. the business turns over so much money I no longer have to get in a car, or answer the phone, or answer to anybody, I just have to sign a few cheques once a month and I'm done. And you could do it too by following the plan that I have put together.
If you are in a position like I was, then you owe it to your self and those around you to get of your ass, and take some action, put your hand in your pocket and invest the cost of a round of drinks in your future.
Think about it, this weekend, if you can afford it you will probably blow more then the price of this book on booze. Do your self a favour, buy this, stay in this weekend and start a new life. And if your not happy with what you have read I'll give you your money back, no questions asked.
